Adelaide City 1
Adelaide Blue Eagles 4
Striker Kym Harris bagged himself a double as Adelaide Blue Eagles brushed aside Adelaide City at City Park on Friday night in Round 1 of the PlayStation4 National Premier League.

“It was a pretty even game for the majority of the ninety minutes. We had the better of it and created some good chances and we took our opportunities, but we played well on the whole and it was a competitive battle,” Annicchiarico said.
“To City’s credit they were pressing pretty hard for the equalizer, but I was happy with the boys’ response to the goal.”
