The Western Suburbs completely thrashed Westgate, leaving their Greek Australian team in a triumphant state with a 4-1 win. This weekend, Strathmore will have the pleasure of experiencing the hospitality of the victorious Suburbs on their home turf.
Despite putting on a spectacular show on the Strathmore field, the mighty Yarraville only walked away with a measly point. With six goals and thrilling moments galore, the match was definitely a must-see for football fans. But alas, the final score of 3-3 left the Yarraville players feeling like they had bitten into a disappointing lemon. As if things couldn’t get any tougher, their next challenger is none other than the second ranked Geelong.
Clifton Hill managed to snag a single point in their epic match against powerhouse team Whittlesea United, ending in a 0-0 draw. But this weekend, the Hillers are ready to show Upfield who’s boss on their home turf.
These Greek-Australian squads better bust out their Herculean efforts if they want to avoid demotion. Their upcoming games will determine whether they stay in the top league or get tossed onto the Medusa-filled second division.
