QUALIFYING FINAL

BROADMEADOW MAGIC V NEWCASTLE OLYMPIC

MAGIC PARK – SATURDAY 6.30PM

It will be the red and blue derby in the qualifying final with arch rivals Broadmeadow Magic to take on Newcastle Olympic at Magic Park on Saturday night.

The two clubs have a history of creating memorable encounters and Saturday’s qualifying final will add another chapter to the rivalry.

Broadmeadow have had a fantastic regular season finishing second with eight wins and scoring 29 goals, the second highest attacking record in the league.

Magic have had a draw and a loss in their previous two games but will be accustomed to playing in another finals series having qualified for their sixth consecutive finals appearance.

Newcastle Olympic will return to the finals after missing out for two seasons, with the side finishing third after a final round 3-0 victory over Valentine ensured their ticket into the finals.

Olympic have won four of their last five games to come into the finals in good form and will be readily preparing for another big game.

The two clubs have met on 50 occasions with Broadmeadow having the slight advantage with 21 wins to Olympics’ 20, highlighting the competitiveness of the rivalry.

Broadmeadow beat Olympic 3-1 in round three to now hold the slim advantage.

Magic coach Anthony Richards said his side looked forward to another exciting affair against Olympic.

“It is a big game, even if it was round one it would be no different. The boys are preparing really well and the Jaffas game was a perfect lead in game, they gave us a terrific hit-out to prepare us,” Richards said.

“We’ve had a terrific season. Before round one the players were told they weren’t getting paid and the coaching staff and for all those guys to hang around and get to where they are is a massive tick in their character.

“It is a different competition now and we want to win it and we’ll be doing the best we can to get there. [Olympics’] coaching staff have done a terrific job and they are very good.

“This is the first game where everyone is available in the whole squad which is perfect timing. We’re looking forward to it.”

Newcastle Olympic interim coach Alex Tagaroulias said he was ecstatic with the side’s position and looked forward to the next instalment of the derby.

“For a club like ours, it’s always important to be as successful as possible so it is quite pleasing to be back in the semis. It feels like it’s been a long time even though it’s only been a couple of seasons. It’s a massive boost for the whole place,” Tagaroulias said.

“We have a decent squad to pick from with a couple of injured players back so there is more options to pick from which a couple of weeks ago we didn’t have. We’re all feeling rather good.

“We’re going to have to improve again, the clean sheets were good, the goals we score were good but we’re going to have to improve again to overcome Broadmeadow Magic.

“It doesn’t take much to motivate players of either club when it’s Olympic against Broadmeadow, adding to that it is a semi-final. My message to them is to enjoy it and have no regrets.”

The winner of this clash will progress to the major semi-final to play premiers Edgeworth.

VALENTINE FC V NEWCASTLE OLYMPIC

CB COMPLEX – SUNDAY 5PM

Newcastle Olympic are one game away from returning to the finals arena and will be desperate for maximum points when they travel to play Valentine on Sunday.

A win would see Olympic move to 23 points and as high as third if they were to win while a draw or a loss could see them slip out of the five.

Newcastle defeated Adamstown Rosebud 2-0 last start with key players Reece Papas, Rhys Cooper and Blake Green all featuring in the NPL NNSW Team of the Week.

Valentine will be playing for pride and will want to finish their season on a high on their home turf.

The side narrowly went down 1-0 to Maitland last start and will finish the season in eighth.

Newcastle Olympic interim-coach Alex Tagaroulias said his side knows the significance of this final game.

“It’s a must win situation. It certainly is massive as a couple of teams could leapfrog us,” Tagaroulias said.

“It would be a fantastic outcome [to win]. It’s been a very difficult year for all our administration and volunteers and any clubs that are rewarded with a semi-final spot will feel really vindicated.

“We just have to be at our best. Valentine are no easy beats, lots of experienced campaigners and everyone has to be switched on and be mindful of them and then we need bring our own game.”

BROADMEADOW MAGIC V LAMBTON JAFFAS

MAGIC PARK – SUNDAY 5PM

After an enthralling 2020 regular season, it all comes down to the final round with a couple of finals places on the line in a few huge games across the weekend.

Broadmeadow Magic host a fired up Lambton Jaffas in a colossal battle at Magic Park.

Broadmeadow have locked up second spot on the table and will be eyeing a solid performance in preparation for the finals series while Lambton must win this game to keep their season alive.

The Jaffas sit two points outside the top five and only a win would do for the Jaffas, while they would require either Newcastle Olympic or Charlestown Azzurri to drop points.

Broadmeadow went down 2-0 to Charlestown Azzurri last start to knock them out of the premiership running while Lambton are fresh off the bye, with the Jaffas unbeaten in their last four fixtures.

Few can forget the last time these two sides met in round five with Magic stealing a 3-2 victory with a 90th minute winner at Arthur Edden Oval.

Broadmeadow coach Anthony Richards said his side were wary of Lambton’s capabilities and wanted an improvement from his side ahead of the finals.

“[Lambton] are a very good team and on their day probably the best side in the competition. If they are good enough to make the semi-finals, they could go on and win it,” Richards said.

“I’m sure they will be up for a big game against us and hope one of the other teams slip up.

“We need to lift on our intensity from last weekend and we just have to tidy things up in a couple of areas and we’ll start heading in the right direction again.”

Lambton coach James Pascoe said his players were solely focused on trying to beat Broadmeadow.

“Hard work on the training pitch is the only way to prepare for any match and this one is no different,” Pascoe said.

“We can’t control what happens elsewhere so our only focus has to be on getting what we need at Magic Park which is to win the game.

“At 2-1 up in the 87th minute in the last game against Magic fatigue had set in and we didn’t manage the game as we needed to.”

EDGEWORTH EAGLES V ADAMSTOWN ROSEBUD

JACK MCLAUGHLAN OVAL – SUNDAY 5PM

Edgeworth will lift a record-breaking 13^th premiership after they take on Adamstown Rosebud at Jack McLaughlan Oval.

The Eagles have swept all before them winning 10 games out of 12 to wrap up top spot with a game to play and the side will want to continue the momentum heading into the finals.

Edgeworth are fresh off the bye last round and will take on the Rosebuds who will be looking to avoid last spot.

Adamstown went down 2-0 to Newcastle Olympic last start and sit one point above Lake Macquarie heading into the final round.

Rosebuds coach Shane Cansdell-Sheriff will take charge of his final game for the historic club and the players will be aiming for a high-quality send off for their experienced coach.

The Eagles defeated Adamstown 3-1 earlier in the season with striker Kristian Brymora scoring a hat-trick that day.

Edgeworth player-coach Josh Rose said it was a great feeling to know his side had won the premiership.

“It was a good feeling when the final whistle went [in the Charlestown-Broadmeadow game]. I think one of the boys mentioned it would have been nice to win it on the field together against Adamstown but once the result was finalised it didn’t take away from it and everyone was happy,” Rose said.

“We spoke about keeping our focus. Adamstown will be full of energy and it will be a good game for us.

“We want to win the game. It will be Old Boys Day so it’s always a special day at Jack McLaughlan.

“We recognised we did have a good group together and we grew even stronger through adversity. We had a fantastic season considering everything that happened at the start and it’s just a real credit to [the players] to push aside everything that happened and continue to focus on the job.”

LAKE MACQUARIE CITY V CHARLESTOWN AZZURRI

MACQUARIE FIELD – SUNDAY 5PM

Charlestown Azzurri are on the verge of finishing in the finals for the first time since 2014 if they are to beat a determined Lake Macquarie at Macquarie Field this Sunday.

Azzurri sit in the same boat as Newcastle Olympic as a victory will earn them entry into the finals, while a draw or loss could spell the end with Lambton Jaffas sitting just behind.

Charlestown defeated Broadmeadow Magic 2-0 last round and have won five of their last six games to be in red-hot form.

Lake Macquarie will be out to avoid last spot as the Roosters sit a point below Adamstown in the fight to avoid the dreaded last place.

The Roosters suffered another loss going down 3-0 to Weston last round and will want to finish the season on a high to build into 2021.

Lake Macquarie earned a draw against Azzurri last time these two sides played in round four.

Charlestown coach Graham Law said his side were focused on putting in a good performance and would not underestimate the Roosters.

“We have a lot to play for and [Lakes] won’t want to finish bottom of the league, so there will be no means taking them lightly,” Law said.

“There’s an opportunity [for us], there is also a nice blend of young players wanting to get to the finals for the first time and senior players who have had great careers and want to make a statement.

“We just know if we focus on this game and play the way we can then a win would take us through regardless so it’s just about getting a good performance and playing well.”

Former Jets representative Stacey Day made a match-winning cameo off the bench as Newcastle Olympic downed Broadmeadow in extra time and booked a spot in their first Northern NSW Women’s Premier League grand final.

Day came on late in the second half of the major semi and twice cleared the ball off the goal line in regulation time before converting a penalty in the 108^th minute to break the deadlock and deliver Olympic a 2-1 victory at Speers Point on Sunday.

It follows Olympic wrapping up a breakthrough minor premiership last weekend, when Day made an unexpected return from a knee injury having joined the club earlier this year from 2019 champions New Lambton.

“It’s been disappointing for Stacey after picking up an injury in her second game for us and we didn’t really think she would be part of the season again,” Olympic coach Harmonie Attwill said.

“She’s been a surprise in for us but you can’t really say no to a player of that calibre.”

Atwill said starting left back Imogen Tusek had performed strongly before Day replaced her.

Brooke Summers opened the scoring for Olympic in the 14^th minute before Magic struck back courtesy of Lucy Jerram around the half-hour mark.

Scores remained level at 1-all until full-time. This was followed by a 30-minute period of extra time.

Olympic progress to the 2020 decider at Adamstown Oval on October 18.

Broadmeadow now meet Warners Bay in this weekend’s preliminary final after the Panthers defeated Merewether 6-2 in the minor semi, which was also played at Speers Point on Sunday.

Warners Bay pair Jen Hoy and Annika D’Amico both netted hat-tricks. Tamara Nash and Ellie Withers replied for United. It was 4-0 at half-time.

Newcastle Olympic v Adamstown Rosebud

Darling Street Oval – Saturday 5pm

Newcastle Olympic will play cross-town rivals Adamstown Rosebud at Darling Street Oval on Saturday.

After suffering a 3-1 loss to Edgeworth in round 11, Olympic had the bye last round and will feel refreshed heading into a must-win game.

Newcastle are fifth and a win would almost certainly cement their finals place. The side have 17 points with Charlestown Azzurri and Weston not far behind.

Adamstown has endured a difficult season having not registered a win since the opening round but have climbed above Lake Macquarie in the battle to avoid a last-placed finish.

The side showed tremendous fighting spirit to come from behind twice to earn a draw against Valentine last round, which included a 90th minute equaliser.

A Dino Fajkovic special was the sole difference between the two sides the last time they met, with Olympic winning 1-0.

Interim coach Alex Tagaroulias said his side would not take the Rosebuds lightly.

“We can’t underestimate Adamstown. I remember the last game, it was a battle and I know what they’re capable of as well,” Tagaroulias said.

“I’m hoping to see [my team] apply themselves as they have done the whole season. If they do that, we’re a good chance of getting the result we need.

“It’s now become all about the result, so we just have to give it our best effort. We’re getting some bodies back, so we’ve got some selection headaches coming up.”

Charlestown Azzurri v Broadmeadow Magic

Lisle Carr Oval – Sunday 2.30pm

Charlestown Azzurri will host Broadmeadow in a highly-anticipated Match of the Round between two in-form teams.

Charlestown sits just outside the top five in sixth and will view this game as a golden chance to earn a spot in the finals with two games to play.

It will be no easy task to beat Broadmeadow who have won their last three games and are well rested after the bye last round.

Magic have locked up second spot and are still alive in the premiership hunt, although only a victory will suffice to put them within two points of Edgeworth heading into the final round.

Broadmeadow’s last outing was a 3-2 win over Lake Macquarie while Azzurri beat Weston 1-0.

Magic also defeated Charlestown earlier in the year with a 3-1 victory although Broadmeadow coach Anthony Richards is wary of a different prospect this time around.

“They are the form side at the moment. They’ve got some terrific young players around some well-hardened senior players so it’s working well for them,” Richards said.

“There is still light at the end of the tunnel for us [in terms of winning the premiership]. We’ll have a go and we can’t die wondering so we’ll be doing our best to get three points this weekend.

“The bye come at a perfect time for us, we had some boys with injuries and we’ll get them back now which is great.”

Weston Workers v Lake Macquarie City

Rockwell Automation Park – Saturday 5.30pm

Weston will aim to keep their season alive when they take on Lake Macquarie at Rockwell Automation Park on Saturday.

The Bears have a slim chance of making the finals with Weston on 15 points, two points away from the five but this will be Weston’s last game of the regular season.

Only a win would keep Weston alive after the Bears were beaten 1-0 by Charlestown Azzurri last start in a demoralising result.

Lake Macquarie will look to finish the year on a high after a tough campaign with only one win to their name.

The Roosters were beaten 3-0 by Lambton last start and will be out to snap a seven-game losing streak.

Weston downed the Roosters 3-1 earlier in the season and will be aiming for a similar result on Saturday night.

Valentine FC v Maitland FC

CB Complex – Sunday 2.30pm

Valentine will take on Maitland at CB Complex with the Magpies gunning for another finals appearance.

Maitland defeated top of the table Edgeworth 2-1 last start with an incredible comeback in the dying stages to rise to third.

A win over Valentine for the Magpies would move them onto 22 points and significantly boost their chances of finishing in the top five, although Maitland have the bye next round.

Valentine still remain a mathematical chance to play finals football but will need to win their remaining games and hope teams above them falter.

The Phoenix were denied a win at the death by Adamstown last round leaving Adamstown Oval with a draw.

With both teams requiring the three points, expect an intense affair with plenty of action.
