The match kicks off at 7:45pm.
If the game stands level after 90 minutes, the game will be decided by penalty kicks.

|
|
|
Both teams go into this game without a league win this season, and both sitting bottom of their respective divisions. It's an excellent opportunity for both sides to get their first win on the board. Make your way to the Showgrounds and be loud and proud in support of YOUR team - Come On Sky Blues!
