Defending NPL NSW Men’s Premiers, Sydney Olympic FC, proved too clinical for a slick Sutherland Sharks outfit winning 3-0 on a hot summer’s day at the Belmore Sports Ground in Sydney.
Sutherland was left to rue missed chances in this fixture despite creating a multitude of chances, while Olympic were deadly in the conversion of their opportunities.
In the 13th minute, Nick Fitzgerald opened the scoring for the Blues and Roy O’Donovan in the 68th minute made it 2-0.
The icing on the cake came from Oli Pufflet in the 78th minute for 3-0, with Sydney Olympic getting their first three points.
These goals from Fitzgerald, O’Donovan and Pufflet all but gave Labinot Haliti a winning start to his coaching regime at the Blues.
The end of the men’s match was preceded by the game of the Under-20 teams, where the two teams drew 1-1.
