Grand Final venue announced
Leichhardt Oval will be the venue for the 2016 PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s Grand Final.
Following its impressive hosting of last season’s Grand Final that saw the Bonnyrigg White Eagles defeat Blacktown City FC 2-0 as well as hosting last year’s Westfield FFA Cup Round of 32 clash between the Balmain Tigers and Melbourne Victory in front of just under five thousand fans, Leichhardt Oval will hold the pinnacle event in the PS4 NPL NSW Men’s competition.
Steeped in history, Leichhardt Oval hosted Sydney Olympic and APIA Leichhardt Tigers in the National Soccer League.
It’s this sort of heritage that drew Football NSW to the boutique venue, following the Heritage Round which ran for the second consecutive year this season.
Football NSW’s Head of Competitions Troy McColl was delighted upon announcing the news of Leichhardt Oval being named as the host venue for 2016.
“We saw during the 2015 Grand Final how great the facilities were especially the condition of the pitch.
“It’s going to be a great day at Leichhardt Oval which will see Football NSW host its showpiece event in the top tier Men’s competition.
“It’s a neutral venue in a central location as well as being held within the Leichhardt community, an area that traditionally love their football, which I am confident will come out and give this Final some support.
“Good luck to all teams vying for those spots on what will be a huge day for Football NSW at Leichhardt Oval.”
Whilst the teams are yet to be decided, preparations are well underway to ensure the showcase event on the PS4 NPL NSW Men’s calendar is not to be missed.
