Newcastle Olympic face Adamstown Rosebud FC in Round 14 of the 2026 NPL competition of Northern NSW. After the wash out against Charlestown Azzurri in Round 13 and the expected heavy rain on Thursday-Friday the games for both the men’s Reserve Team and First Grade will be held at the LMRFF of Speers Point.
Olympic Reserve Grade have the opportunity to frog leap Valentine FC on the points table who face a tough away game at Cooks Hill. Olympic sit just 2 points behind in second spot and have recorded their first win against Weston after three consecutive defeats!
Adamstown is in 9th place on the ladder and are winless in their past 6 matches! In the Round 3 fixture which was postponed and replayed on Wednesday April 1st, the score between the two teams was a 1-1 draw. This was a physical match which will be remembered for the 10 yellow cards and two red handed out by the referee.
Both teams will have something to prove and both will want the 3 points.
Kick off is scheduled for 8:00pm on Saturday 30th May, 3036 at LMRFF 2.
Newcastle Olympic First Grade face Adamstown Rosebud two hours earlier at the same venue! Both teams had washed out games last week against Charlestown Azzurri and Kahibah respectively. Olympic have won 3 games all season and occupy 8th spot on the points table on 13 points while Adamstown have won just 2 games and are in last place on 10 points.
With only 3 points separating the teams a loss by Olympic could land them in last place on the table and a battle to escape relegation. A win for Adamstown will get them off last place and give them some breathing space to pull away from the danger zone.
In the Round 3 fixture earlier in the season the teams played out a 2-2 draw at Darling St Oval.
Kick off is scheduled for 8:00pm on Saturday 30th May, 3036 at LMRFF 2.
