NEWFM NL1 sides Kahibah FC and Cessnock City Hornets, both pulled off stunning upsets against Adamstown Rosebud and Lake Macquarie City, and in Round 5, they’ll be facing off with one another confirming that there will be one NEWFM NL1 club to feature in the State Qualifiers.
The upcoming round will also feature multiple NPL NNSW v NPL NNSW matches including a battle between two heavyweights in Lambton Jaffas and Broadmeadow Magic, while Maitland and Charlestown City Blues will take on each other, as will Weston Bears and Valentine Phoenix – who all progressed with Round 4 wins over lower league teams.
The other two matches will see teams in different leagues playing one another which includes the only non-Premier Competition team, Warners Bay, hosting Hamilton Olympic while NEWFM NL1 side New Lambton will also host a NPL NNSW club, Edgeworth Eagles.
Matches are scheduled to be play midweek of the week starting on May 20th, and ending on May 26th.
The six winners from the Round 5 will meet the two successful teams from the Northern Conference, Boambee Bombers and Bangalow Bluedogs, at Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility in the State Qualifiers on the June long weekend, 8th – 10th.
