NPL WA Round 16
COCKBURN City has a tough weekend ahead, eyeing off a match against top of the table Inglewood United.
Having lost 3-0 last week to Stirling, Cockburn will be fighting hard to earn some respect against the new title favourites, who they lost to earlier this year 4-2.
Cockburn will be hoping home ground advantage can give it the pep needed to halt Inglewood’s scoring, with the team having slammed home 35 goals in the season to Cockburn’s 23.
In contrast, Inglewood’s keeper Alex Dunn has only let 23 goals slip past him this season, while Cockburn’s Luke Radonich has had a harder time of it, conceding 31.
Cockburn City will host Inglewood Unite tomorrow at Dalmatinac Park from 3pm.
