Despite a few postponements, fans in the north have plenty of matches to choose from in their search for live action.
There’s floodlit football on Friday night; a full round of Northern League on Saturday; and enough games in the men’s and women’s Lotto NRFL divisions to satisfy those wanting entertainment and goals.

Friday

Metro host East Coast Bays at Phyllis Street, kicking off at 7.30pm. The home side has struggled so far this season but at home, and with Friday night support, they might be able to turn the tables on mid-table Bays.
