Hellenic heritage clubs face decisive final group-stage battles in Australian Championship

·

As the Australian Championship group stage reaches its final weekend, South Melbourne, Heidelberg United and Sydney Olympic are all preparing for decisive matches that could determine their progression to the knockout rounds.

South Melbourne will travel to face Moreton City in their final Group A fixture, looking to finish the stage on a high. Already leading the group, the club aims not only to honour its colours with a strong performance but also to boost Sydney Olympic’s chances of securing second place.

A South Melbourne victory would open the door for Sydney Olympic, who then must defeat Broadmeadow Magic at Magic Park in Newcastle on Sunday at 1 pm to claim the second qualification spot in Group A and advance to the quarter-finals.

In Group B, Heidelberg United will play their final match on Sunday at 1 pm against South Hobart at South Hobart Oval. A win would secure top place in the group and give Heidelberg a favourable position heading into the knockout phase.

With everything still to play for, this weekend promises intense action as Greek Australian clubs vie for their place among the Championship’s top contenders.
