Missed the Men’s National Premier League Round 14? Here’s your wrap-up!

 

IN A NUTSHELL

A first National Premier League point for Yoogali who continued their love-affair with the Riverside, where they won the Grand Final in 2023, by holding the Panthers to a 0-0 draw. Gungahlin had no such problems at O’Connor Enclosed, three first-half goals seeing off Canberra Olympic. Tuggeranong were felled by a late winner from the Knights for the second time this season, all three goals in the 2-1 win from the spot, and Croatia came from a goal down to defeat Tigers 3-1.

 

GOAL OF THE WEEK

A stunning free-kick from Jeremy Habtemariam is our Goal of the Week for Round 14. The Gungahlin midfield ace lined up his effort from twenty-five metres and curled a stunner up and over the wall that left Sebastian Usai grasping at thin air. A sublime effort, executed with maximum efficiency.

PERFORMANCE OF THE WEEK

The entirety of the Yoogali squad get the nod this week for earning their first-ever NPL point at the fourteenth time of asking. From back to front the men in yellow put in a stellar shift, working hard for each other, putting bodies on the line, and limiting the Panthers opportunities. It was resilient and a reminder of what the men from Griffith can do.
