Spirit FC kept up their…

Lilli Pilli continued on their merry way on Saturday evening at Seymour Shaw Park, beating high fancied White City 2-1 in a cliff hanger.

Girgin put Roosters ahead with a goal on 24 minutes, before Dunn sent the home fans into a frenzy with an equalizer in the 70th minute. But Roosters were not to be denied, and it was that man Girgin again who did the damage, grabbing the winner for his team with just ten minutes remaining.…

A third minute goal to Robert Younis was enough to separate the two teams on the scoreboard. The home side started slowly and by the time they woke up around the quarter hour mark they were already behind. The first free-kick of the match was awarded on the edge of the Sydney United area and…

As has been the case throughout the campaign to-date, Bankstown City played another entertaining match with all the flair and creativity of a top-ranked football side.

A Brad Groves strike on 34? minutes separated the two teams with Abbas Saad?s men taking the game to their more illustrious opponents from the outset.

It was always going to be a tough season for the Rams and in this game they got a real lesson in paying for their defensive lapses and allowing the score-line to blow out, giving a lop-sided appearance. Shannon Cole, back from a lengthy injury, was instrumental in much that was good for Olympic but…

Blacktown City?s perseverance paid off finally, after a disappointing campaign that has been influenced by a long list of injuries.

Bonnyrigg maintained their three-point lead over Parramatta following a tense 2-2 draw at a packed Bonnyrigg Sports Club.

The visiting A-League side dominated for large periods of the match in front of a capacity crowd of around 4,000 at Seymour Shaw Park, leaving Coach John Kosmina in a confident mood, despite the one goal defeat. ?We were a bit rusty, definitely Sutherland were a little bit sharper than us, but I thought we…

Having captained the side during the last few camps, Bridge was considered a near certainty to take his place on the plane to Beijing, but for Musialik, today?s news is a dream come true.
