George Tsamouras Football Journey

Round 20 of the NPL Youth competition has Newcastle Olympic away to Lake Macquarie City. A win by our teams in the u14s and 15s will bring home the 2021 Premiership of each respective age group.

Newcastle Olympic U13s have had an incredible run in the later part of the season and sit in 5^th spot 5 points out of the top 4. They will need wins in all three of their remaining games (Lake Macquarie, North Coast & Weston), to keep their hopes of making the top 4.

Newcastle Olympic U14s and U15s require a win on the weekend to bring home the 2021 U14s and U15s Premiership titles to Darling St Oval. Providing they play to their strengths, this should be achieved.

Newcastle Olympic U16s have a bye as the U16s Lake Macquarie team has withdrawn from the competition. Two wins in their final two games against North Coast and Weston will ensure they capture 2^nd or 3^rd spot on the points table and a place in the semi-finals.

As we turn the final corner of another season, Round 19 of the 2021 NPL competition presents Newcastle Olympic with the opportunity of collecting it’s first Premiership trophy!

In U13s Newcastle Olympic faces a tough assignment as the Broadmeadow team is on maximum points and on Tuesday night secured the U13s NNSW NPL Premiership. We are 2 points off the top four and the boys need to work very hard to keep their hopes for a top 4 finish.

In U14s Newcastle Olympic are 7 points clear at the top while the Broadmeadow team is fighting for a place in the top 4. It will be a tough game and one we need to win in order to get closer to winning the Premiership.

In U15s Newcastle Olympic need 3 points to collect the Premiership for the 2^nd year in a row! A win against the Broadmeadow team however will diminish their possibility of a top 4 place! This match has so much at stake for both teams and has the makings of “the battle of all battles”!

In U16s Newcastle Olympic are in 3^rd spot, 4 points adrift from 2^nd which is occupied by the Broadmeadow Magic team. Another epic battle by two evenly matched opponents!

Newcastle Olympic youth teams take on Adamstown Rosebud this Saturday in their final game of the 2021 NPL season at Darling St Oval! Our supporters will have an opportunity to watch the last game on home soil for all four teams! All four are top 4 contenders and will be fighting for a place in the semi-finals while two are favorite to win the Premiership.

Newcastle Olympic u13s are just 2 points off 4^th spot on the ladder and should collect the 3 points against an Adamstown team which has yet to register a single point this season! U14s continue in 1^st spot, 2 points ahead and with a game in hand and should also collect the 3 points against an Adamstown team 10^th on the ladder.

Newcastle Olympic U15s continue their record breaking run (1 loss in two seasons), with a 10 point lead in 1^st spot against an Adamstown side who would love to cause an upset. If Olympic win this game, they only require 3 points in the remaining 4 matches to collect the title, yet again!

Newcastle Olympic U16s have secured a top 4 spot but will want to play well against a 6^th placed Adamstown team if they want to secure 2^nd place.

This is the last opportunity for our supporters to see all four of our youth teams in action at Darling St Oval this season as well as enjoy the wonderful food from our canteen!

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 4^th spot on the ladder and need the three points from 3^rd placed Azzuri to frog leap them into 3^rd 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 2^nd placed Edgeworth play two games on the weekend and mathematically can capture 1^st 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 4^th position on the points table. A mere 4 points separates them from 2^nd spot.

Newcastle Olympic take on Valentine FC in Round 16 of the NPL Youth competition in their second last appearance at Darling St Oval for the season!

Amid the new Covid-19 restrictions one match will not take place! U14s from Valentine do not have enough players to field a team and this game will be deferred to a later date. U13s who are in 4^th spot on the ladder need a win against 7^th placed Valentine to cement their position in the top 4 as we near the semi-finals. U15s who are in 1^st spot on the table on maximum points take on a 5^th placed Valentine team eager to be the first side to take points off last year’s Premiers. U16s are also relishing the weekend to get back on their winning ways after three unfortunate results over the past three weeks.

Round 15 of the NPL Youth competition pitches Newcastle Olympic against Maitland FC at Darling St Oval this Saturday.

After a great win against Edgeworth last week, Newcastle Olympic U13s need a win on Saturday to retain 4th spot on the points table from a 5th placed Maitland team who is only 2 points behind. U14s took revenge on Edgeworth last week, the only team to whom they lost points earlier this season! To ensure they retain their 1st spot on the points table they need a win against 3rd placed Maitland.

Newcastle Olympic u15s continue their fairytale maximum points run for a second season in a row and a win against a 4th placed Maitland team will ensure they retain their 11 point lead! U16s need the 3 points to retain their 3rd spot on the table after two disappointing results over the past two weeks.

In Round 14 of the NPL Youth competition Newcastle Olympic take on Edgeworth Eagles at Islington Park. The matches in all four age groups are derbies and should be very competitive encounters.

In u13s, 3 points separate 5 teams from 2^nd to 6^th on the points table. After their great win away last Monday over Jaffas, the Newcastle Olympic team will be wanting to double up on the three points and move within the top four.

In u14s, Newcastle Olympic occupy 1^st place and their only loss of points this season was a narrow defeat to Edgeworth. This match will be between the best two teams of the competition.

In u15s, Newcastle Olympic are also in 1^st place and on maximum points. A win against 2^nd placed Edgeworth will bring them a step closer to the premiership.

In u16s, Newcastle Olympic are in 3^rd place and with a win against 1^st placed Edgeworth, they will be within three points off the lead.

Four mouth watering games which will be held at Islington Park. Due to the limited seating, spectators are encouraged to bring a chair.

The National Youth Championships are Football Australia’s primary national football tournament for under-14s and 15s boys and under-14s and 16s girls. The competition will see teams from each of Football Australia’s State Federations compete over five days.

The Football Australia National Youth Championships for Boys will be held from September 20 to 24, while the Football Australia National Youth Championships for Girls will be held from October 18 to 22.

Northern NSW Football has hosted the championships since 2006 working closely with Coffs Harbour City Council, their sports unit and the community.

While the boys championships will remain at Coffs Harbour this year, the girls championships will be played at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra.

The 2015-19 NNSWF bid was supported by long-time partner, Coffs Harbour City Council and sports unit, along with Destination NSW, with both recognising the significance of the tournament as a catalyst for tourism and economic benefit in the Coffs Harbour region and wider NSW and the partnership facilitating a strong bid.
