Sydney FC will continue their arduous pre-season when they take on fellow A-League side Central Coast Mariners in a friendly at Leichhardt Oval on Monday, July 6.
The pre-season local derby signifies the first time A-League football has been played at the picturesque ground, which has been in football mode all winter as the home venue of NSW Premier League side Sydney Tigers throughout the 2009 season.
The clash is the second meeting against A-League opposition for Sydney FC this pre-season, after Vitezslav Lavicka’s side defeated North Queensland Fury 4-0 at Shark Park last weekend.
It also follows eight matches against State League sides, which saw Sydney win all eight fixtures, the last being over Sutherland Sharks 4-1 on Wednesday night.
“This is important game for Sydney FC in our pre-season,” Lavicka said. “We have played State League sides at their grounds and done well to win all eight games but this is bigger test.
“This is against A-League team and we will have better knowledge of our pre-season progress. I was happy against North Queensland but every time we play another A-League team I get more information on how our pre-season is. I look forward to seeing Sydney FC play the Mariners.”
The match was originally scheduled to take place at Knox Grammar School but had to be moved following the recent run of wet weather that has adversely affected so many of Sydney’s sports fields.
