With the tense opening fixture out of the way it’s time for the second Western Australia NPL Night Series duel of the season. Balcatta are ready to confront Armadale in front of their home following.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
