2 WELCOME FROM THE #PS4NPLNSW We are back at Melita Stadium for Round 2 of the 2017 PS4 NPL NSW Mens competition that sees Parramatta FC take on Sydney FC. Parramatta FC welcomes our loyal supporters and guests. Despite the 2017 campaign not starting as planned with a loss to the Wolves last weekend, the Parramatta FC boys have continued working hard and are looking to turn the table with a win over the newly promoted Sydney FC. Sydney FC come to Melita on the back of a loss to Rockdale and our boys are eager to double that and earn some valuable points in their determination to play finals football. We welcome the travelling Sydney FC players, coaches, officials and supporters together with the officiating Referees. Parramatta FC acknowledges their 2017 sponsors The Granville & Districts Soccer Football Association, Pasta Italia, Final Stage Enhancements and Complete Banner Services and thank them greatly for their support of our great Club.

5 NPLNSW.COM.AU MATCH FIRST GRADE highly sought after first win of the season A goes on the line on Sunday when Parramatta FC hosts Sydney FC. Parramatta conceded three goals last week in their loss to Wollongong and will need to tighten up defensively before the electric attack of the Sky Blues comes to Melita Stadium. Sydney FC were impressive despite going down 2-1 in Round 1 to Rockdale. Speed is Sydney s weapon of choice, with exhilarating attacking options like Bai Antoniou, Charles Lokolingoy and week one goal scorer Chris Zuvela, and the competition new boys aren t scared to use it. 1ST GRADE - PLAYSTATION 4 NPL NSW MEN S POS TEAM P W D L F A GD PTS 1 Wollongong Wolves FC Sydney Olympic FC Manly United FC Rockdale City Suns FC APIA Leichhardt Tigers FC Hakoah Sydney City East FC Blacktown City FC Sutherland Sharks FC Sydney United 58 FC Sydney FC Parramatta FC Bonnyrigg White Eagles FC

6 FIRST GRADE #PS4NPLNSW Match abandoned: Parramatta v Wollongong Wolves, 5.00pm at Melita Stadium Match was abandoned during the second half with scores at 1-1 due to an injury suffered by a Parramatta FC player. Sydney FC 3-1 Rockdale City Suns, 5.45pm at Lambert Park Sydney FC made light work of Rockdale City Suns on their NPL 1 debut after cruising to a 3-1 victory over Rockdale City Suns at Lambert Park. A brace from John Iredale and an Alusine Fofanah strike ensured the Sky Blues opened the new campaign on the right note, while James Temelkovski scored on debut for Rockdale.

8 FEATURE STORY #PS4NPLNSW FOOTBALL NSW LAUNCHES The PlayStation 4 (PS4 ) National Premier Leagues NSW 2017 Season was launched by Football NSW at Waterview in Bicentennial Park on Wednesday where media and representatives from the NPL community attended. A cocktail function for 150 guests with Master of Ceremonies and Fox Sports very own Simon Hill took control of proceedings which also included representatives from all Football NSW National Premier League Clubs, FFA, Hyundai A-League and W-League clubs, Major Sponsors, and Managing Director of Sony Interactive Entertainment Australia, Michael Ephraim, celebrated the fifth year of the National Premier Leagues in NSW. There were also cameo appearances from a couple of ex-socceroos with Paul Okon, Ante Covic, David Zdrilic and Gerry Gomez on hand to support the competition as well as former Socceroos coach form the famous 1974 World Cup squad, Rale Rasic. The 2017 season will again see the National Premier Leagues benefit from the association with PlayStation4 with the powerhouse sponsor throwing its full support behind grassroots football in Australia. I ve often been quoted as stating PlayStation s passion for football has always lived both on and off the field and it is true whether it be literally by strapping on a pair of boots, or picking up a controller, commented Michael Ephraim, Managing Director, Sony Interactive Entertainment Australia. This year, we are celebrating three years of partnership with FFA and we re incredibly proud to see how the strength of our collaboration has contributed to the growth of the PS4 NPL into a true breeding ground of Australian football talent, Ephraim concluded. Two special panels took place on the evening as the first took centre stage from all five NPL competitions with Rockdale City Suns prized new signing Ante Covic, Sydney University inspirational captain Elizabeth Grey, Marconi Stallions master midfielder Peter Triantis, Nepean FC s talented skipper Desiree Vassallo and charismatic Gladesville Ryde Magic s 8

The second panel saw the Central Coast Mariners Blake Powell, a former Sutherland Sharks and APIA Leichhardt Tigers product, Sydney FC s Westfield W-League star and current Macarthur Rams player Leena Khamis as well as Western Sydney Wanderers Lachlan Scott, a former Wollongong Wolves and APIA Leichhardt product, chat about their involvements with the NPL. Football NSW interim Chief Executive Officer Stefan Kamasz stated that the event accomplished its intention in celebrating the launch of all PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues NSW competitions. I m thrilled to be able to enjoy the launch of this season with so many of those that champion this competition. The PS4 NPL in New South Wales is a very important part of the football landscape and player pathway in Australia, and in the room tonight are the heroes of our game that ensure it continues to be so. Season launches are wonderful occasions to come together socially and catch up with old friends, and even adversaries, but in football terms they are a time for optimism, for positivity, for anticipation, for expectation and hopefulness for the coming season. I would like to thank the league sponsors PlayStation4, especially Micahel Ephraim, who is not just a sponsor but a wonderful friend of football. Michael s enthusiasm for PlayStation4 and football is infections and it is a delight having such an individual involved with our wonderful sport. I would like to wish all the clubs the best of luck and we look forward to seeing another NSW club being honoured as the National Premier League Champions following in the footsteps of Sydney United 58 FC (2013, 2016) and Blacktown City FC (2015).

11 NPLNSW.COM.AU MATCH UNDER 20s Sydney FC got their start to NPLNSW life off to the perfect start last weekend courtesy of a 3-1 victory over Rockdale and David Zrdlic s men will look to continue the momentum when they travel to Melita Stadium to take on Parramatta. John Iredale started the campaign with a brace against Rockdale and will fancy his chances of finding the back of the net again against a Parramatta side who had their fair share of troubles at Melita Stadium in However, the Eagles are more than capable of matching it with the best on their day and after seeing their round one clash with Wollongong prematurely abandoned they will be hungry to claim the scalp of the Sky Blues to kickstart their 2017 campaign. 11
