Sydney Olympic form and stats

The Sydney Olympic regulars got no joy from their last match, also played here at Belmore Sports Ground: A 2-3 defeat against Marconi Stallions (placed 3rd). Up until that loss this club had gone six consecutive league games without a loss. The defeat against Marconi Stallions was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored three minutes into stoppage time (by Hatfield).

In the match before that, Sydney Olympic hosted Wollongong Wolves and drew the game 1-1.
