Both teams just 1 win form getting back into the top half of the table, men only 2 wins from top spot, women too.
Depsite a few injuries both teams are on the up! Hopefully that will bring some of the crowds back - friday night for the men against the third placed Jets will be telling - a 2-0 win and we could leap into 3rd.

Also Mr Rollo this comment is inaccurate "Youlley caught Najjarine high on the ankle right in front of the Phoenix bench as the midfielder tried to dribble clear, leaving Sydney to chase the game with only 10 men."

Its should read - Youlley caught Najjarine on his left knee and then on his right anke right in front of the Phoenix bench as the midfielder tried to dribble clear, leaving Sydney to chase the game with only 10 men.

If the contact was only on the ankle then I suspect the call would have remained a yellow - the high contact to the knee was the cause for the upgrade.
