Just because there’s no Hyundai A-League action this weekend doesn’t mean there’s no football.
National Premier Leagues action takes place across the country, so get along and watch your local side take to a field near you!
The Wollongong Wolves are surprise leaders after two rounds of the NPL New South Wales, having defeated Manly United and APIA Leichhardt Tigers.

Coached by former Caltex Socceroos star Luke Wilkshire, the Wolves travel to heavyweights Sydney United 58 on Sunday evening aiming to maintain their unrivalled perfect start.
English striker Thomas James has starred for Wollongong, netting four goals in the opening two rounds – including a hat-trick over APIA Leichhardt last round.
Wilkshire will be wary of a strong United side, possessing the likes of ex-Hyundai A-League man Matt Sim, who scored a belting free kick in his side’s 1-0 triumph over Blacktown City in Round 2.
