yer I expected so Sutho re NSM, they are striving to get to top level one day (which is good) and any chance they have to challenge a PL1 team they will treat it like a final compared to as in your case, blood in some fringe players etc but this is what its all about molding your players and to adjust to the challenges.

Interesting the way these things work. Rhinos play Monaro away this weekend in the NPL, then at home on Tuesday for the Cup

FNSW draw is on at 1pm today on FNSW FB page

Marconi v APIA plz

Still a good mix of Npl1,2,3 state league and Assosciation teams left. I’m hoping to draw an Illawarra Premier league club, they’re are always up for a good game.

Also hoping for an easy draw for local association side Kirrawee. Unlikely they will make it much further but crazier things have happened in football.

some big games in round 5.

blacktown v manly
hakoah v sutho
bonno v northern tigers

Kirrawee got balmain tigers.

looks like some more lower level teams going to go through given the match ups above.

I can sense a forfeit coming up for Sydney United. I can’t see Henwood Park coming up from Wagga for a midweek flogging.

but then again, how many times could they say they played an NPL1 side at Edensor.

They'd be stupid not to go.

They might be able to scrape a team of kids together, but to get the full team up there on a Wednesday night basically means taking 2 days off work. Would need to leave Wagga by midday on Wednesday and wouldn't get home much before 4am on Thursday, which wouldn't be great to show up to work the next day. Maybe SU could move the Cup game to ANZAC Day and do Henwood Park a favour.

Hawkesbury got Berkeley Vale an amatuer side from central coast so we should be through to the next round how exciting

I heard from our first grade player that Henwood will be forfeiting the match. it is what it is. However, it asks the question, why didnt they just join the ACT qualifiers? 

They can't join ACT qualifying as they are a FNSW member club. Although Riverina and Southern (maybe even Western) Branches should IMO leave FNSW and join Capital football. 
Last round Henwood Park moved their Home Cup tie from Wednesday to Friday night, to help out the visiting St. Patrick's team, and then backed up to play a 2nd game on the Sunday. Now I'm not suggesting an NPL club could play 2 games in one weekend, but maybe they could consider moving an NPL game from the weekend to mid-week and play the Cup tie on the weekend to help out a country team. Mid-week Cup ties are a problem that will need to be addressed if FNSW want to include more clubs from the Western, Southern and Riverina branches.
Of the 80 or so senior men's clubs in country NSW (excluding Wagga City Wanderers and Western NSW Mariners) we only had 6 entries in the 2018 FFA Cup (4 from Riverina, 2 from Southern), that's up on the 3 from 2017 though. Not sure what the answer to be more inclusive is though. 

https://www.dailyadvertiser.com.au/sport/local-sport/5358880/hard-ffa-cup-task-for-henwood-park/

There's a story in the local Wagga paper saying that Sydney United offered to play on ANZAC Day (that's good to hear from SU) but Henwood Park can't make that, so they are still aiming for the following Wednesday night game. It states they currently have 10 players committed to making the trip to Sydney, but that the Coach, Captain and at least 3 First Grade players aren't available.

good to see them trying to get there. However with only 10 players, its probably better they stayed home.

United will field mostly 20s i assume
