2015 Men's Fixtures Revealed
Words: Michael Flynn
Football Queensland has confirmed the Senior Men’s fixture schedule for PlayStation 4 NPL Queensland 2015 – with plenty of exciting match-ups in the opening round.
The season kicks off Saturday, 28 February with three big matches and continues across 22 rounds of home-and-away action as the twelve competing clubs seek to book their place in the PlayStation 4 NPL Queensland Grand Final scheduled for Sunday, 13 September.
Historic Brisbane football venue Perry Park will host the opening match of the season with Brisbane Strikers hosting traditional opening round rivals Redlands United – the pair sharing the opening round spoils one match a piece in the previous two campaigns.
Fans in the state’s north will also have their chance to experience the excitement of opening night when last year’s semi-finalists FNQ FC Heat host fierce rivals Northern Fury at Barlow Park in Cairns.
The residents of Ipswich are also in for a treat with Western Pride hosting an opening fixture against South West Queensland Thunder in the ‘A1 Derby’ at Briggs Road Complex.
The opening weekend closes the following day with Moreton Bay United hosting last year’s runners-up Olympic FC at Wolter Park, and Sunshine Coast FC welcoming Brisbane City to Sunshine Coast Stadium.
2014 PlayStation 4 NPL Queensland Premiers Palm Beach SC will have to wait until the second round to kick-off their season in a Grand Final rematch against Olympic.
Sharks’ scheduled opening round match against Brisbane Roar Youth is to be played later in the season as Roar conclude their Foxtel National Youth League campaign on the opening weekend of PlayStation 4 NPL Queensland.
Roar Youth will commence their season against Thunder in Toowoomba, before Thunder become the first club of the southern clubs to venture to the tropics for their clash against Heat in Cairns – one of the country's longest away-trips outside the Hyundai A-League.
2015 looms as the most competitive year of PlayStation 4 NPL Queensland yet and plenty of scope also remains for a nail-biting finish to the regular season for the league’s Premiership hopefuls.
Two-time Grand Finalists Olympic host final round specialists Pride, while previous Queensland State League powerhouses Fire and Strikers to renew their rivalry to close their respective home-and-away campaigns.
