Mike Eager's SMFC came from behind to win late for their second league win of the season 3-2 away at Port Melbourne Sharks. James Musa featured- his debut coming after 74 mins. SMFC also had a tight 1-0 away win against Sunshine George Cross (great names these Aussie teams) in the 4th round of the Dockerty Cup (the semi-finalists progress to the new FFA Cup) last weekend.
Also in Vic Jude Fitzpatrick's Northcote City beat Port Melbourne Sharks 3-0 away in the 4th round of the Dockerty Cup. He won peno. Northcote play Bentleigh Greens in a repeat of last year's VPL final in the NPL tomorrow.
Someone told me Dakota Lucas was playing in Vic but I don't know where. Anyone know? I know Zane Sole is at NPL side Heildleberg Utd but hasn't played for a while due to injury.
In NPL-NSW Ethan Galbraith's Sutherland Shark's bounced back from a first round loss to beat South Coast Wolves 2-1. It was Galbraith's first start - he came on at half time
Sharks vs WolvesAlso in the NPL-NSW ex ACFC player Daniel Saric featured in Manly Utd's loss to Marconi. It look's like Saric is now playing as a winger.
Last of all out west Dunedin's Matt Brook is with Burnley Academy side Balcatta FC - they had a 4-2 win last week against Armadale SC - the 19-yr old defender was on the bench and didn't feature.
These lads in Aussie are playing at a decent level - we should keep track of them I think. Hence, my comments here - I might even do weekly updates. So if you hear of any other kiwi lads playing in the NPL please post it here.
