This weekend a number of South Melbourne Youth teams will make the trek to ABD Stadium at Broadmeadows Valley Park to take on Hume City, Moreland Zebras and Olympia FC from Hobart.
We have six age groups involved giving our NPL teams yet another opportunity for pre-season competitive matches. On Saturday each team will play against Moreland Zebras and then on Sunday we will play against either Hume City or Olympia FC depending on the results.
South Melbourne Youth have a healthy and friendly rivalry with Moreland Zebras which includes multiple match-ups at the Heritage Youth Cup which Moreland hosts each year. The club has met Olympia FC once in a friendly back in 2009 when we travelled to Hobart and our Seniors were victorious with a 9-0 score line.
Speaking to smfc.com.au, South Melbourne Technical Director Sean Gale said “this is another exciting opportunity for match practice and to continue the players development we have been working on during the pre-season”.
