Sydney Olympic will play its last match in the 2009 Telechoice Premier League season this Sunday afternoon at Belmore with a clash against former NSL giants and fierce rivals the Marconi Stallions
The pre-season favourites will be looking to end their season on a high following a disappointing 2009 campaign culminating with a 4 – 1 loss at the hands of a rampant Sutherland last week.
Nick Theodorakopoulos will have a full compliment of players to choose from. Tolgay Ozbey will be unavailable as he is still trialing overseas in Turkey.
Marconi under former Olympic coach Lee Sterry will look to cement a spot in the top 3 and only a win will ensure this. He will look to his experienced captain and former Olympic player Nahuel Arrate to rally his young Stallions as they endeavour to claim all three points and give them a good run of form going into the semi finals.
In the corresponding fixture last season the spoils were shared at Belmore with both sides playing out a controversial 2 – 2 draw. Earlier in the year it was Marconi who got the spoils with a 2 – 1 win at Marconi Stadium.
Can Olympic end their season on a high?
Can Olympic put a dent in Marconi’s good run of form before the finals?
These questions will be answered this Sunday at Belmore, with Under 20s kick-off at 12.30pm and the main game kicking off at 3pm.
Gates open at 11.30am.
