NPL Youth action resumes this weekend after the “wash-out” catch up round of last week. Newcastle Olympic are away to Charlestown Azzuri with some interesting games indeed!
Olympic U13s have captured 4th spot on the ladder and need the three points from 3rd placed Azzuri to frog leap them into 3rd as well as distance themselves from Edgeworth and Maitland who are fighting for a place in the top four.
Olympic U14s should not have a problem overcoming their Azzuri counter parts on paper. They need the 3 points as 2nd placed Edgeworth play two games on the weekend and mathematically can capture 1st spot on the points table if they win both.
Olympic U15s are recovering from their first loss of competition points last week since August 2019! Given that Charlestown also come from an away loss, we have the ingredients of a great battle for the 3 points.
Olympic U16s should prove too strong for their Azzuri counter parts and need the 3 points to improve their 4th position on the points table. A mere 4 points separates them from 2nd spot.
