Reports below, but next Sunday, 3rd March, 5pm, let’s get to Sky Stadium to roar on the league leading Phoenix Men!!

The Weekend Past

The Phoenix Men put in a composed and disciplined performance away at Perth Glory (“the long distance derby”) and were unlucky to come away with just one point in an entertaining 0-0. We were without Kostas, but Rufer & Payne played full games, with Zawada and Kraev getting good game time, and Ben Old putting in an excellent performance:

Phoenix Men are now 6 points clear with but Central Coast play Victory on Sunday. There are 26 games in the full season:

Also:

No Phoenix Women due to international games but a welcome run of home games coming up in March.
