National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Edgeworth Eagles or Western United that keep their silverware dream alive.
Western United have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
There have been little to rest for the hosting team, as they had a Northern Nsw match only four days earlier. This match was also played here at Jack McLaughlan Oval. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Western United have had more rest.
