Adamstown welcome Maitland to Adamstown Oval in the only Round 6 match to be played on Saturday this weekend. This is a must win clash between two sides who have failed to record a win in nine games between them.
Adamstown have played five of those, losing three and drawing twice, and are stuck in ninth on two points.
The Buds’ most recent loss came on Tuesday night. They led 2-0 at half time against Broadmeadow away from home through goals from Guy Bates and Dayne Pawlik. Magic scored three second half goals though, with the last coming in the 95th minute, which crushed the Buds players and Coach Graham Law.
Maitland are also struggling, sitting last on just one point. Of their four matches after being promoted from the NEWFM 1st Division, Maitland have experienced little success, drawing one and losing three.

Charlestown take on Weston on Sunday, aware that a win is essential after a slow start to their season.
The Blues have played four matches, winning just one and losing their remaining three. This has left them five points outside the top four in seventh position.
They missed out on a perfect opportunity to gain some points during the week, when they were defeated by Lambton 3-1 away from home on Wednesday night. Daniel Bird scored the Blues’ lone goal.
The Bears on the other hand are enjoying a stellar start to their season. They have played five matches, three of which they have picked up maximum points. They have drawn one, and lost one, which leaves them in third place, only trailing the Jets Youth by goal difference.

Magic Park
#MGCvSCG
The final match of Round 6 will see the battle of the Reds, as Broadmeadow Magic play host to South Cardiff Gunners at Magic Park.
Magic sit comfortably in first position, on eleven points after five games having won three matches and drawn two.
The most recent result for Broadmeadow was a 3-2 win over Adamstown on Tuesday night in their rescheduled Round 4 tie. The Rosebud went into the break ahead 2-0 after goals from Guy Bates and Dayne Pawlik, however second half goals to Dino Fajkovic, Scott Petit cancelled them out. It looked set to finish a draw, but deep into injury time Chris Berlin popped up for a winner, keeping Magic at the top of the ladder.
This match will be physical and both sides will be intense in the front third, and therefore it should be a fascinating game, the perfect way to complete Round 6 of the Northern NSW PS4 National Premier Leagues.
