Heidelberg United v APIA Leichhardt Set For Olympic Village
A super Saturday of PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues (PS4 NPL) Finals Series matches this weekend will decide which two Clubs will advance to the competition’s Grand Final.
Football Federation Australia (FFA) today confirmed the dates, venues and kick-off times for the PS4 NPL 2017 Semi Finals after the Elimination Finals were held across four states last weekend.
At 1pm this Saturday Victoria’s Heidelberg United FC will welcome New South Wales’ APIA Leichhardt Tigers to Olympic Village in Heidelberg for Match 5 of the competition.
The Bergers and Tigers won through to the PS4 NPL 2017 Semi Finals after wins over Bayswater City SC (Western Australia) and Adelaide City FC (South Australia) respectively.
Following Match 5 the focus of PS4 NPL 2017 Finals Series fans will shift to Jack McLaughlan Oval in Edgeworth near Newcastle as Edgeworth Eagles FC hosts former National Soccer League Champions Brisbane Strikers in Match 6 of the competition.
Edgeworth will be aiming to advance to the PS4 NPL Finals Series Grand Final for the second straight year.
Damian Zane’s Eagles won through to the PS4 NPL 2017 Semi Finals after defeating Canberra Olympic in the nation’s capital last weekend, while Owen Baker’s Brisbane advanced to the final four after defeating South Hobart FC in Tasmania.
Tickets for both Semi Finals will be available at the venues on match day, while every match in the PS4 NPL 2017 Finals Series will be streamed LIVE via www.nationalpremierleagues.com.au, as well as on PS4 consoles and the official Hyundai A-League Facebook page (www.facebook.com/aleague).
