Round 21 Preview – League Two Men’s

Ten rounds remain in the 2026 Football NSW League Two Men’s season and with the ladder tight and most teams still in with a chance of playing for promotion, the stakes continue to be high in Round 21.

Match of the Round: Bonnyrigg White Eagles FC vs Granville Rage

Sunday, 28 June 2026 – 5pm, Bonnyrigg Sports Club

A battle between two sides hunting for promotion sees Bonnyrigg White Eagles FC looking to get revenge over Granville Rage.

5^th-placed Bonnyrigg snapped a three-match winless run in their 3-1 away win over Bankstown United FC last week and will hope to return home with a win, having lost 7-0 to Mounties Wanderers FC in their last home match. A win could see them rise to as high as 2^nd, while a loss could see them drop to as low as 8^th.

9^th-placed Granville Rage has won one of their past five matches and will hope to find consistency to move up the ladder following a 3-1 away loss to Central Coast United FC last week. A win for Granville could see them rise to as high as 6^th, while a loss could see them drop to as low as 13^th.

With both sides log-jammed in a tight mid-table in the battle for promotion, both sides will hope to avoid dropping crucial points as the season enters a pivitol point.

Parramatta FC vs Nepean FC

Saturday, 27 June 2026 – 5pm, Melita Stadium

2^nd-placed Parramatta FC will hope to respond from back-to-back losses and get their promotion charge back on track against their western Sydney rivals, with their talisman Marco Sama looking to have his say. A win for Parramatta could see them maintain 2^nd spot on goal difference, while a loss could see them drop to as low as 5^th.

6^th-placed Nepean FC will also hope to bounce back following consecutive defeats and will also look to their focal point in attack, Toby Witjes, in what promises to be a battle between him and Sama, with both players on 14 goals this season. A win for Nepean could see them rise to as high as 4^th, while a loss could see them drop to as low as 10^th.

Central Coast United FC vs Gladesville Ryde Magic

Saturday, 27 June 2026 – 5pm, Pluim Park

8^th-placed Central Coast United FC will hope to continue their winning streak, having won four-straight matches, against a side they have not beaten in their last five meetings, Gladesville Ryde Magic. A win for the Pirates could see them rise to as high as 4^th, while a loss could see them drop to as low as 12^th.

10^th-placed Gladesville Ryde Magic have won four of their past five matches and will hope to go six head-to-head matches unbeaten against Central Coast, their leading scorer this season Stavros Palapanis scoring a double in the reverse fixture. A win for the Magic could see them rise to as high as 6^th, while a loss could see them fall to as low as 13^th.

Sydney University SFC vs Fraser Park FC

Saturday, 27 June 2026 – 5pm, Sydney University Football Ground

11^th-placed Sydney University SFC will hope to get back on track following consecutive draws and one win from their last five matches, looking to complete the league double over Fraser Park FC. A win for University could see them rise to as high as 6^th, while a loss could see them drop to as low as 13^th.

3^rd-placed Fraser Park FC have failed to win their past two matches and will look to use the fight from their late comeback to draw away to Hawkesbury City FC last week as momentum. A win for Fraser Park could see them rise into 2^nd, while a loss could see them drop to as low as 5^th.

Inner West Hawks FC vs Hawkesbury City FC

Saturday, 27 June 2026 – 5pm, Arlington Oval

13^th-placed Inner West Hawks FC will hope to snap a four-match winless streak against a Hawkesbury City FC side they scored a 6-3 win over earlier in the season, their biggest win of the year. A win for Inner West could see them rise to as high as 9^th on the ladder, while a loss keeps them in 13^th.

7^th-placed Hawkesbury City FC are unbeaten in five matches and will be out for revenge over their rival Hawks, a side they defeated 3-0 away from home last season. A win for Hawkesbury could see them rise to as high as 4^th on the ladder, while a loss could see them drop to as low as 10^th.

Dunbar Rovers FC vs Mounties Wanderers FC

Saturday, 27 June 2026 – 7pm, Rockdale Ilinden Sports Centre

4^th-placed Dunbar Rovers FC will hope to do what only two other sides have done this season and take down the league leaders when they meet and will hope to be clinical when they do so. A win for Dunbar could see them rise to as high as 2^nd on the ladder, while a loss could see them drop to as low as 8^th.

League leaders Mounties Wanderers FC have scored a league-high 67 goals and conceded a league-best 18 goals this season, Patrick Antelmi on fire as the league’s top scorer with 21 goals for the year following his haul last week. A win for Mounties could move them to as many as 22 points ahead of the teams behind them and give them a shot of winning the league early in the next month.

Camden Tigers FC vs South Coast Flame FC

Saturday, 27 June 2026 – Ron Dine Memorial Reserve – Carbiz Stadium

Last-placed Camden Tigers FC will hope to take momentum from their late comeback to draw 1-1 with Dunbar Rovers FC last week as they hunt down their second win of the season. A win for the Tigers would be their first since Round 7.

12^th-placed South Coast Flame FC will hope to snap a six-match winless streak and get themselves among the mid-pack and will be refreshed following their bye last week. A win for the Flame could see them rise to as high as 9^th, while a loss would keep them in 13^th.

14^th-placed Bankstown United FC have a bye in Round 21.
