Newcastle Jets take on UNSW FC in the clash between the league leaders

U20s Newcastle Jets and Youth take on UNSW FC in the clash between first versus second with exactly 1/3 of the season remaining! Having only played once in the past three weeks, due to two forfeited games, U20s will be called upon to defend their 9 point lead against second placed UNSW FC.

After setting the competition on fire and gaining a twelve point lead from their nearest rival, U20s Newcastle Jets have struggled to field a competitive squad in recent weeks due to injuries, player absences and player departures! UNSW FC on the other hand have lost a mere four games all season, have caught up to Newcastle on goal average and look to continue their winning run against the depleted Jets on Saturday. A win will bring them to withing 6 points of the lead while a loss will give the Newcastle team a 12 point lead again.

Newcastle Jets Youth are still licking their wounds from two consecutive losses against mid-table teams but fortunately for them, a loss by league leaders UNSW FC has them only 4 points behind. A third consecutive loss this week against a strong UNSW FC side will place them 7 points behind the lead and also enable the latter to overtake the Jets in 1^st place of the Club Championship which leads to promotion at the end of the season!
