Football West will livestream its first NPL WA match of the season on Saturday when Floreat Athena play Inglewood United at E&D Litis Stadium.
The game will be broadcast via the Football West Facebook page and FootballWestTV on YouTube. Kick off is 3pm.
Floreat are seeking to extend their unbeaten league run to 12 matches, stretching back to last June.
Coach Garrett McDulling came in for the second of those matches and not only has he not tasted defeat in the league, he also guided Athena to the Night Series title.
But he won’t go any closer to losing his record than last week, when a 93rd minute own goal from Bayswater defender Adam Tong gave Floreat a 2-2 draw.
On paper Inglewood will be healthy outsiders but apart from the first half of their Round One loss to Bayswater, they have looked a spirited outfit.
That was evident last week when they fought back twice to draw 4-4 at Cockburn, first from 3-1 down and then after conceding an 89th-minute penalty to trail 4-3.
Hamza Hina came up with the goods in the seventh minute of added time. “I was just happy to prove the haters wrong and show we had the guts to come back,” he said.
Armadale are the fledgling leaders after two straight wins and they have a second straight home game, this week against Perth Glory.
In contrast bottom club Rockingham City couldn’t have it much tougher in their search for a first point, an away trip to champions Perth SC.
Sorrento, who won a high-scoring game at ECU Joondalup last week, face another side who have yet to register a point in Stirling Lions.
Balcatta have had a mixed start, winning 4-0 against Rockingham then crashing 3-0 against Glory. Coach Goran Stajic knows things wont get any easier this weekend against Bayswater City.
In the other game both Cockburn City and ECU Joondalup will try to bounce back from their respective disappointments last week when they meet at Dalmatinac Park.
