NSW Premier League heats up

WITH only two rounds remaining in the 2022 NSW Futsal Premier League, things are certainly heating up, with teams from the participating clubs, including Hakoah, battling for top-four places in their divisions, as well as wins across the board in bids to avoid relegation. Hakoah’s men’s team sealed a fourth consecutive win in round 12 last Saturday, easing to a 3-1 victory over the Dural Warriors, after scores were level earlier at 1-1. That moved them up one place to third, but they have a steeper challenge next when they face leaders Inner West, who edged the Mascot Vipers 3-2. Hakoah’s women’s team had a gritty 1-1 draw with Dural to remain in second spot, and seal a finals spot. The U14 Hakoah boys are also in good form, coming third and also qualifying early, with a thumping 11-1 win over Dural. The club’s youth men’s team are third too, despite a 0-1 loss last round, but require another win to guarantee a top-four position. Hakoah’s other teams have their work cut out. Their U16 boys’ side, and their U17 and U15 girls’ teams, are all eighth, but are showing signs of improvement each round. The former two lost their round 12 matches by just one goal, while the latter posted their first win of the season, 1-0, versus Dural.
