State League 1 – North West Group
Clifton Hill is on a desperate hunt for victory, and victory alone, in their last game of the 2024 season. The Greek Australian squad will face off against Strathmore on their own turf, determined to secure their place in State League 1. They were handed a bitter 4-1 defeat by Doxa Yarraville last week..
After their win against Clifton Hill, Yarraville will travel to Corio to face the local club in the final matchday of the season.
Last week, the Western Suburbs squad swooped into Corios’ turf and emerged with a triumphant away victory. The Greek Australian gang certainly brought their A-game and claimed a 0-1 win. Now, on their own stomping grounds, Suburbs will take on Sydenham Park. Let’s see if they can keep the wins coming at home.
State League 1 – Southeast Group
The fearless Malvern team conquered Collingwood’s turf with a score of 3-5, proving that historic victories are always in style. The Greek Australian squad is set to end their smashing season at home this weekend, embracing their Hellenic roots as they take on South Springvale’s Aris.
Aris annihilated Gippsland United 1-2 in their own turf last week, and now they’re gearing up for a thrilling showdown with Malvern. The “yellow and black” squad has their sights set on promotion and if they can conquer Malvern and the White Eagles stumble against Eltham, then the Greek-Australian gang will score a sweet spot in VPL2. We had a chat with Aris’ boss Jim Simos to get his take on the season’s finale and the highly-anticipated Malvern match-up.
“Despite losing some key players this season, our team has proven to be a force to be reckoned with and has tirelessly fought until the very end. Our impressive performance may not have led to a championship yet, but we have faith that our young and talented players will surely lead us to victory in the near future.”
The upcoming match against Malvern could potentially be one of the most crucial matches in the club’s history and the Aris boss is looking forward to it.
“We’re pumped for our soon-to-be epic showdown with Malvern City. No telling what’ll go down, but we’re gonna leave it all out on the field and cross our fingers for a win. Our faithful supporters will surely fuel our fire. Hopefully we can all party together at the end of the 90 minutes. Our fanbase, faithfully showing up week after week, are the backbone of our team. We’re like one big happy family here.”

It seems that Mill Park will strut into their derby against PAOK with their heads held high, fresh from a victorious away game against Albion Rovers (1-2). Let’s see if they can finish the season with another win.
State League 2 – Southeast Group

With a resounding 0-3 win, the mighty Olympiacos from Kew East have trampled the Templestowe Wolfes. They’re now just one game away from securing their promotion, and they plan to do it in style against East Bentleigh at their stomping grounds.

State League 5 – Northern Group
Can we take a moment to appreciate AEK of Keon Park’s bold ambition to snag a spot in State League 4? Their away game against Meadow Park this week is the ultimate test. And don’t forget, “Dikephalos” dominated Birrarung with a 4-1 victory in their last match!
