#PS4NPLNSW

It is hard to believe that we are coming to the end of another PS4 NPL NSW Men’s regular season. It has been a difficult season for the sharks with a mid season change of coach and a number of disruptive injuries. However we have shown we have the basis to build an exciting side for next year. Our opponents today, Sydney Olympic 58 FC are assured of a semi–final position and have been consistent performers all year.

The Sharks are coming off the back of a very exciting home 4-3 win against Sydney FC and a 0-0 draw against Parramatta Eagles on a sub standard pitch last week. Sharks coach Grant Lee will be looking for a strong showing from the Sharks against his former club.

Today we farewell club stalwart Nathan Denham who has decided to retire from our playing ranks. Nathan has been a role model to all our aspiring youth players for many years. His dedication to the game has been unwavering over the 9 years and more than 200 games he has participated in for the Sharks. Nathan is a very special person and one we don’t intend to let go completely. He will continue his work with the Shire’s SAP and youth keepers in 2018. I’m sure we all wish Nathan all the best for the future.

An amazing statistic going into today’s game is that Shark’s forward Tomohiro Kajiyama is the leading goal scorer in the league. “Breathing down his neck” are 3 ex-Sharks players in Pani Nikas, James Andrew and Jordan Figon. Good luck today “Kaji.”

Today we celebrate the success of our under 20’s. They are the 2017 Premiers of the PS4

NPL NSW Men’s. They are 7 points clear of their nearest rivals in a competition that boasts the best under 20 year olds in the state. It is a just reward for the team after last year finishing runners up in the last game of the year. Coach Nick Dimovski and his assistant Steve Gordon have no such worries coming into today’s game.

The under 18s narrowly missed a semi–final spot but the senior coaches are satisfied that we have unearthed some future talent for the Sharks. Our youth teams have also shown we have a healthy future.

I would like to thank all the medical staff, coaches and managers for their work in preparing our senior players in off-field preparations so they had every opportunity of success on the field.

Finally thank you also to our major sponsor Pipe King and our other sponsors, supporters, and the junior association clubs and players who have supported our club.

MATCH

FIRST GRADE

Sutherland Sharks FC take on Sydney Olympic on Sunday and could hold the key to the final makeup of the top five.

While Sutherland are out of finals contention themselves, A big win against Olympic could open the door for Wollongong Wolves to make an unlikely top five finish.

The Sharks were held to a dour scoreless draw against Parramatta FC last week and will be determined to give a much improved performance in their final match of the season.

Sydney Olympic know their finals fate relies on coming away with at least a draw from this match and they will be doing everything they can to collect the points.

Olympic were much improved last round and will be hard to beat. However, Sutherland will have the home crowd behind them so don’t be surprised if they pull off an upset.

Parramatta FC 0 - Sutherland Sharks 0 at Melita Stadium

Parramatta FC has snapped its 14-match losing streak after battling to a 0-0 draw with Sutherland Sharks in a dour PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s contest at Melita Stadium on Saturday evening.

The stalemate is the Eagles’ first competition point gained since a 2-2 draw with competition frontrunners Blacktown City back in round six and although Marshall Soper’s outfit will take significant pride from the result they will perhaps regret not claiming all three after offering their best performance of the former Socceroo’s short reign so far.

Goal scoring opportunities were extremely limited for both sides on a night haunted by the infamous Melita Stadium bounce. Despite some standout performers from the home side this was very much an encounter that underlined the shortcomings of the two most youthful squads in the competition.

The result mathematically confirms a bottom-placed finish for Parramatta while Sutherland move level on points with ninth-placed Bonnyrigg but trail the White Eagles on goal difference.

Sydney Olympic FC 4 - Hakoah Sydney City East 0 at Lambert Park

Sydney Olympic has kept it’s PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s playoffs hopes alive with a comprehensive 4-0 win against Hakoah Sydney City East at Lambert Park on Sunday.

A double to Will Angel, a goal to Yianni Spyrakis and a Gavin Rae own goal was what it took for the home side to secure all three competition points in what was a strong performance from Gorka Etxeberria’s side.

The result means Olympic control’s their finals fate and must secure at least a draw against Sutherland in the final round to ensure a top five finish.

#PS4NPLNSWFEATURE STORY

THE RACE TOWARDS THE

What your club needs to do to make the finals of the PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s competition. 1. APIA LEICHHARDT TIGERS FCBest Finish: 1stWorst Finish: 2ndWith the best defence in the league and the best attack, APIA’s rise to the summit of the competition table after a vital victory over Blacktown City had an air of inevitability and vindication about it.The Tigers have one hand on the Premiership trophy heading into the final round of the regular season, and only need a draw against Rockdale at Lambert Park on Sunday afternoon to be officially crowned premiers for 2017.The incentives for finishing top don’t stop there.APIA will enjoy a week off - a much needed reward after a hectic schedule in the Waratah and Westfield FFA Cup - as well as an all-important second chance in the finals if they can secure victory over Rockdale City Suns in the final round of the season.Can APIA take out the Premiership something they last won fourteen long seasons ago? The Suns stand in their way of that fate.2. BLACKTOWN CITY FCBest Finish: 1stWorst Finish: 2ndHaving spent a total of 58 days on top of the competition table, more than any other team in the league, Blacktown City’s demoralising defeat to APIA on Sunday afternoon may prove to be a defining moment in not just the race for the Premiership trophy, but also the Club Championship.After Round 21’s results, Blacktown City hold a narrow 8-point lead over APIA Leichhardt Tigers in the Club Championship.Worryingly for Mark Crittenden’s men, their form looks to have plummeted at the worst

possible time (excluding their 3-2 heroics in the Westfield FFA Cup Round of 32 knocking off the Central Coast Mariners).A dismal run of just one point in three games has Blacktown in alarming decline on the eve of the finals.And it doesn’t get any easier in their final match of the season; when they travel to the home of familiar foe, Sydney United 58. The Reds suffered a heart-breaking defeat at the hands of Manly United last round, effectively ending their season, but would undoubtedly love to drive another dagger into the heart of Blacktown City’s Premiership aspirations after they lost out to them in the 2016 Grand Final.In saying that, if there’s one team that you should never count out of any calculations on doing the unthinkable its Blacktown City who carry a strong never say die attitude that may well get them across that line once more.3. ROCKDALE CITY SUNS FCBest Finish: 3rdWorst Finish: 4thRockdale City Suns hold all the cards in the race for the Premiership trophy.If they manage to defeat APIA in the final game of the season, it opens the door for Blacktown City to perform a Stephen Bradbury-esque come from behind victory – sealing their second Premiership in just three seasons.Knowing a victory will secure a third place finish and a vital second chance in the first round of the finals, Rockdale City Suns will not be short of motivation in this fixture at Lambert Park.Whilst the comfort of a second chance in the finals is on offer for Rockdale if they can beat APIA on the weekend, the perils of a straight knockout fixture looms large if they lose and Manly United beat Hakoah.Rockdale’s final game of the season against APIA appears to be a match of almost innumerable consequences and huge

significance as an enthralling race for both the premiership and top five qualification reaches its climax.4. MANLY UNITED FCBest Finish: 3rdWorst Finish: 5thIf you don’t believe in miracles, watch the highlights from Manly United’s incredible 3-2-comeback victory against Sydney United 58 on Sunday afternoon.A victory that not only ensures Manly’s qualification for this year’s finals, but also brings an end to the top five ambitions of Mark Rudan’s team.Erratic at best in recent weeks, with a deserved win over Blacktown City followed up with a crushing 5-0 defeat at the hands of APIA Leichhardt Tigers, Manly United will be hoping to head into their do or die finals match against either Sydney Olympic of Wollongong Wolves full of confidence.With Dejan Pandurevic firing on all cylinders and the experienced head of Dylan Macallister leading the line, Manly will be tricky customers in the finals series and could make a run all the way to the Grand Final if they produce their best football.5. SYDNEY OLYMPIC FCBest Finish: 4thWorst Finish: 6thWhen Sergio Aguero scored that classic goal to win Manchester City the Premier League title in 2012, he ultimately had goal difference to thank, as his side finished level on points with Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United team.Sydney Olympic, sitting just three points above sixth placed Wollongong Wolves, may be equally thankful for the invention of goal difference come full-time in their match against Sutherland Sharks on the weekend.Olympic will be short-priced favourites to take all three points against Sutherland, and their 9

point buffer in goal difference over the Wolves may prove a mountain too tall to climb for a desperate Wollongong side.Having already secured victories over APIA and Manly United this season, Olympic will fancy their chances if they can secure qualification in the finals. Apart from their inexplicable hoodoo against Blacktown City, Olympic have no reason to fear any side in the top five and with Jinya An and Yu Kuboki mercilessly leading their attack, they could prove a real dark horse in this year’s finals series.6. WOLLONGONG WOLVES FCBest Finish: 5thWorst Finish: 6thClinging to a belief in an unlikely top five qualification like an adolescent child stubbornly refusing to concede the fiction of Santa, Wollongong host Sydney FC in the final round of the competition, needing to overturn a whopping 9 goal differential to have any hope of qualifying for this year’s finals series.Patrick Antelmi has demonstrated his appetite for goals this season and Peter Simonoski has been scoring goals for fun in recent weeks.But their efforts may not be enough as Wollongong are still reliant on Sutherland snatching an unlikely victory over Olympic for the south-coast team to have any chance of qualification.

UNDER 20s

Newly crowned 2017 premiers Sutherland will prepare for the finals series with a home fixture against Sydney Olympic at Seymour Shaw on Sunday.

The Sharks finally made their premiership win official with a 1-0 victory over Parramatta last weekend and will no doubt look to celebrate their league superiority when they welcome the Blues to the Shire.

Nick Dimovski’s side have led the competition outright since round one on the back consistently excellent performances and boast the best defensive and attacking records in the league.

Visitors Olympic resembled a side of top-five quality for two thirds of the campaign but have failed to win a match since their round 15 triumph over Parramatta and have slipped down to ninth position on the ladder.

They’ll want to bid a disappointing season farewell and remind the competition of their quality against the league benchmark.
