State League 1 – North West Group
Unfortunately for Western Suburbs, their away game against Strathmore was not their shining moment. Despite their efforts, they were no match for the unstoppable force that is Callum Nicholas. With two goals under his belt, Nicholas proved why he’s reigning supreme as one of the top footballers in the league. But don’t fret, Western Suburbs fans, the team will have another chance to dominate as they face off against Corio this weekend.
Despite a promising chance, Clifton Hill failed to climb the rankings. Their 1-1 draw with Upfield leaves them in the same spot. They’ll face Yarraville this weekend, a game that promises to be a Greek cultural extravaganza. Yarraville, struggling at the bottom, is in dire need of a win to ignite hope for the future. Yet, last week’s 1-0 defeat against Geelong only added to their woes.
State League 1 – Southeast Group
Springvale South has their sights set on moving up a division, packing a punch of passion and power to their squad. They show no mercy on the field, always hungry for the win. Last weekend, they demolished Eltham 1-2 on their own turf. This weekend, they have their sights set on Gippsland United, with one goal in mind – to snatch up three points and nab that top spot on the table.
Malvern may need a ladder to reach the top teams in the standings, as the gap keeps expanding. In their previous match against Gippsland United, Malvern dominated but could only muster a draw. Hopefully, they can leave their opponents seeing blue and white this week when they face off with 10th-ranked Collingwood City on their home turf.
State League 2 – North West Group
Move over, everyone, Westvale Olympic has snagged the fourth spot in the standings with a home victory against Uni Hill Eagles with a score of 2 – 1. The Greek-Australian squad is back at it this weekend, taking on the ever-threatening Hume United. Ready for some action?
Mill Park may have missed out on a sweet away victory as they settled for a 1-1 tie against Hoppers Crossing, who are not exactly a powerhouse team. With a formidable match against second-place Albion Rovers looming at their own turf this weekend, they better bring their A game and leave the wasted opportunities behind.
The match between Altona East Phoenix and Whittlesea Ranges resulted in a stalemate, with both teams scoring 1 goal each. This week, PAOK will journey to Lalor to take on the homegrown United team.
State League 2 – Southeast Group
The Cobras slithered their way to glory in last weeks “Greek” derby, outmaneuvering Chisholm United with a fierce 3-1 score. With laser-like focus and smooth gameplay, they effortlessly snagged the win and three precious points. Up next, they’ll take on Mooroolbark while the Oakleigh crew will journey to North Caulfield for another showdown against the locals.
The Bayside Argonauts walked away from WJ Turner Reserve with just one point after a tied game. They brought their A-game against Greater Dandenong, displaying a fiery passion and a can-do attitude on the field. Though the match ultimately ended in a 1-1 stalemate, the Argonauts are ready to conquer their next challenge – facing off against the second-ranked Peninsula Strikers on their own turf. Talk about a tough away game!
State League 4 – Eastern Group
Waverley Wanderers had a decent day last week, managing to score a sweet point against Monash City Villarreal in the Oakleigh showdown. But this weekend’s battle is bringing their hospitality skills to the test as they welcome the fierce fifth-ranked Kings Domain to their turf.
State League 4 – Northern Group
Darebin United slayed Fawkner with a spectacular 3-2 victory on home turf. They’ve catapulted to third place, only a point shy of the top dog, Plenty Valley Lions. This weekend, they’ll be taking their talents to Docklands to face off against the hometown heroes, Athletic.
Last week, West Preston kicked the Moonee Valley Knights to the curb with a smashing score of 3-1. Now they’re sitting pretty in fifth place, just a couple steps below the “throne”. But will they reign victorious this weekend as they take on Fawkner in a home game showdown?
State League 5 – Eastern Group
Olympiacos from East Kew is currently at the top of the standings. The “red and whites” defeated Glen Waverley 2-0 and are now concentrating on this week’s game against the Templestowe Wolves.
State League 5 – Northern Group
The mighty A.E.K from Keon Park caused havoc as they journeyed to Tullamarine, smashing in five goals and claiming a sweet victory for three points. Can they keep the “yellow and black” streak going on the road against Birrarung? Only time will tell.”
