Newcastle Olympic Reserve Grade, fresh from their 3-1 win over Lambton Jaffas on Sunday afternoon take on Belmont Swansea United FC in a Round 11 catch up game that was deferred due to poor weather. The fixture resembles a David and Goliath affair and hopefully for the boys in blue, David isn’t successful on this occasion!
Olympic are cruising in first place on the points table with 34 points while Belmont are in 11th spot on 13 points! The difference in strength between the two teams is enormous and Olympic are favourites to collect the 3 points and advance further on the points table in their quest of conquering the Premiership.
Belmont have only won four games all season and were able to salvage a 1-1 away draw on Saturday against Weston. Olympic played on Sunday and will have had one day less to prepare for the Tuesday night fixture at Speers Point.
Despite the obvious difference in strength between the two teams a lot will depend on player availability for this midweek fixture and on mental preparation. Underestimating your opponent is something that Olympic will need to avoid if they are to collect another 3 points.
Kick off 6:15pm at LMRFF Speers Point on Tuesday 8th July 2025.
