NPL 2025

[erogenouszone]

Its a mud bath lol.

Check out the coverage. It looks rough but the ball is rolling true and no water is pooled in midfield or in front of goals. Not bad for the amount of rain Sydney has had the past couple of weeks.

Hearing its not only Urosevski going to bankstown.

Blake Ricciuto, Braydon Sorge could be on their way too.

But the biggest one is Peter Tsekenis could be coach.

the rumor hill has already started for 2026 lol

Ricciuto and sorge are done cause uro and ricciuto will takeover the whole junior space at Bankstown

I thought Paul Dee was confirmed coach but always heard Tsekenis could be coach

Rob Mileski is a great guy doing wonderful things. Would love to see Bankstown back in the top flight.

Would love to see hurstville zagreb, bono and Bankstown in the top flight more rivalries like in Victoria

And get rid of the academy sides

 

[LFC]

got to say how wonderful seeing the Championship fixtures up, into the warmer climate but got to do what you got to do moving forward.
I wish all the Clubs well, wow for little Spirit up here, what a time to be leading and winning the NSWPL.
That is a bolter and a half from my perspective.
I got to say struggling to see West APIA FC but that how its turned out for more $'s, shame its a away fixture.

And played u-12s all the way up to PPL against Zagreb and Ilinden, always tough games.

Without knowing or seeing anything from their socials to date I expect Christie Park but good question.
Will be interesting what becomes.

Spirit in their FB comments.......
Welcome to the #AusChampionship, NWS Spirit FC!

The former NSL club is returning to the national stage having qualified* to represent New South Wales in the inaugural Australian Championship kicking off in October, with Foundation Clubs APIA in second and Marconi in third on the #NPL NSW table and fourth-placed Rockdale City now unable to catch them!

*Pending Ratification by Member Federation

Omg. How the hell does FA think that Spirit FC were in the NSL

. How embarrassing. This is in no way a negative post on Spirit FC. Congrats on an unbelievable season.
BUT COME ON FA . LIFT your game.

Congrats to NWS Spirit FC!
Now here’s the real question….’former NSL club….’ - yay or nay?

Anthony Caruso
This is more a merger of Gladesville-Hornsby with NWS Koalas. Northern Spirit basically used them as a youth academy.
Id rate this as half true.

Geoff Coy
Agree with Christopher Dunkerley very slim connection indeed. Only the word 'Spirit'

Christopher Dunkerley
Very slender connection .. imaginary almost.

A-League Decent BlokePosting
So that means MK Dons is a former EPL club?

Chris Artino
It was a merger with Northern Spirit

Rick Crocono
Northern Spirit were born from the old Spirit club in the NSL featuring Annie & Slater

Chris Wantt
No

Chris Ioannides
No for me
It's the old Gladesville Hornsby that's been around for ever

Brenton Ray
it’s not needing member ratification it was mentioned during the commentary.

Why you don't have the name of the Sydney Olympic?

Bill Roumeliotis
When there is something negative about the Sydney Olympics, it is written...do you forget the positives or are they irrelevant?

Sort of but not really

 

[superpolska]

Avondale allowed to play at Parkville???

 

[HappyGuus]

And get rid of the academy sides

Where else would they play that's better than NPL/SL against skilled men?

 

[Monoethnic Social Club]

Avondale allowed to play at Parkville???
