Blacktown City take on Bonnyrigg in Round of 16
For the second successive round there will be an all NSW tie that will see Blacktown City FC entertain the Bonnyrigg White Eagles in the round of 16 of the Westfield FFA Cup.
The official draw was announced on Wednesday evening at Fox Studios after the completion of the final four matches of the Round of 32 which saw PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s side Wollongong Wolves bow out 3-0 against Hyundai A-League side Sydney FC in front of a wonderful crowd of 8,029 at WIN Stadium – a record Westfield Round of 32 crowd.
On hand to assist with the draw was former Balmain Tigers and now Sydney University player Tom Hyde.
The Round of 32 saw its first all NSW tie when Blacktown City FC defeated Sydney United 58 FC with a 6-2 scoreline at Lilys Football Stadium with Mark Crittenden’s men set to do it all again when they take on a familiar team in the White Eagles – a replay of last year’s Grand Final which Bonnyrigg won 2-0 at Leichhardt Oval.
Dates will be announced by FFA shortly but there will be 2 match days set with 4 matches per night falling on either the 23/24/30/31 of August.
The remaining Westfield FFA Cup 2016 Round of 16 will feature some other intriguing matchups headlined by three derby matches after the draw for the last 16 was conducted earlier tonight at FOX SPORTS studios in Sydney.
Apart from the Blacktown City versus fellow PlayStation 4 NPL NSW club Bonnyrigg White Eagles match, the Melbourne Knights will host PS4 NPL Victorian rivals Green Gully, and Hume City will again face the Melbourne Victory in a rematch of last year’s semi-final.
In the other matches pitting Member Federation clubs up against Hyundai A-League opposition, Brisbane Strikers were drawn to host Melbourne City FC and the Edgeworth Eagles will meet Western Sydney Wanderers FC.
In the remaining all-Member Federation affairs Canberra Olympic will host Redlands United and Devonport Strikers will take on Bentleigh Greens from Victoria.
The remaining fixture will see Sydney FC travel to Perth in the solitary all-Hyundai A-League match.
FOX SPORTS will broadcast one match live and exclusive in full on both match days in the Round of 16 with LIVE streaming and updates of the other matches.
