Forget about taking Mum out for lunch at some ritzy restaurant or showering her with unwanted gifts like slippers and perfume. All Mums really want is the passion and excitement of a day at the football. There are a number of very intriguing clashes to pick from this weekend if you do fancy a day…

Apart from the twelve NSW Premier League teams a total of six Super League sides, eight State League One sides, one State League Two side, four Association clubs and one Illawarra Premier League side are currently in the hunt in progressing further into the tournament.

Springwood are riding high having found early feet in an evenly balanced competition but perhaps face their biggest test of the season in trying to see off an under-performing but seriously unlucky Hawkesbury outfit.

Their nomadic existence hasn?t affected their form though as Uni sit fourth on the table, and while we already have seven games under our belts, a third of the way through the season, Uni have played five games away.

The two leading sides in the league battled through an absorbing first half where neither could quite grab the initiative. Illawarra certainly looked the better side with Manly being unable to dominate as in previous weeks. The teams went to the sheds at half time locked at 0-0. Was Larry Bates going to weave some…

Balmain will no doubt be looking towards the experience of veteran campaigners, Con Paradisis and John Buonavoglia, to help snap them out of a three game losing streak. The Spartans on the other hand are yet to taste defeat in 2010, and a win on the road at Leichhardt will propel them back towards the…

Club Championship Fraser Park not only continued to lead the way on…

However, if this trend continues, we will still be guessing about the composition of the finals series as we go into the final round.

Sydney Olympic came out the stronger of the two teams and looked likely to cause an upset, but the home-side found their rhythm late in the first-half and stormed home to maintain second position in the NSW Premier League competition. The match was only a minute old and the fans barely had enough time to…

Simon Verrender, captain of St George and now into his thirteenth straight season at the club, ran up his 250th first grade appearance for St George this week.

St George take outright second with their third win in four games while Granville Rage jump to third with an impressive win over FC Bossy, who drop from second to fifth. Sydney Uni, after a very hard match against Spirit, take fourth spot. Central Coast and Fraser Park play leap frog again, with the Coast…

Wins to Roosters, Hurstville, Springwood and Prospect maintained status quo in the top four, while victorious Belmore and Luddenham jumped a losing Bathurst outfit to take equal-fifth place. A feisty 20 goals for the round was also the second highest amount of the season, still short of round two?s 28 goal feast, but well ahead…

After last week?s rather disappointing performance against Sydney United, the home side was certainly looking for redemption against A.P.I.A.-Leichhardt. However, that scenario – on paper at least – appeared to be a difficult task given that the Tigers had easily accounted for West Sydney Berries in their last outing and had won two out of…

Mounties edged out Schofields in a see sawing, five goal thriller at CSI Sport Ground, whilst an unfortunate injury at Francis Park saw the premature end of the Blacktown Spartans-Fairfield City Lions clash.

The Stallions victory, with Sydney United?s heart-breaking defeat at the hands of Blacktown City FC on Sunday, ensures Marconi a two-point lead at the top of the ladder heading into Round 11. Erick Anabalon sealed the points for the Stallions on Saturday with the only goal of the match against Rockdale. Marconi was in the…

The normally tough uncompromising United took command in the early exchanges but were limited to long-range efforts and half-chances as the solid Sharks midfield and defence gave no leeway to making the byline to send over telling crosses. After 10? minutes, the visitors began to relinquish their early midfield promise as the home side assuredly…

Erick Anabalon?s 27? minute strike was enough for the Stallions to secure the three-points in a much improved performance by Marconi following their recent outing at Manly United. Despite Rockdale City?s best efforts in a positive second-half performance, Marconi ground out the result to ensure a hold of top-spot heading into Round 11. Mitchell Mallia…
