ACT Premier League Wrap and ACT Rockets to miss out?

ACT Rockets to miss Win Stadium game?
Fed Cup winners thrashed at home, Woden Valley win Lifeline Cup and move off the bottom, Belconnen, Tuggeranong win.

All the ACT Men's Premier scores below but the big and disappointing news from my perspective is the ACT Rockets Illawarra clash pencilled in to be played at the Win Stadium before a Sydney FC home game looks to be quashed.

Capital Football are unable to change the Premier League fixtures it would appear. CEO Heather Reid will be on the Nearpost on Tuesday so we'll get the update then.

But if it's true the game is cancelled due to local fixture constraints why can't the players selected just go.

As much as Canberra City v Belconnen or Canberra FC O'Connor Knights is a big game, a chance for the players selected to play at the SFS could be the highlight of a local player's careers.

So if the game is on the cards to be played at Win Stadium, I say change the Men's draw, or the clubs could just release the players, although I guess many people would want to go and watch.

Ask the players selected what they would prefer. I reckon I'm right:) If I'm not let me know.

Anyway here are the scores from the weekend.

Capital Football Men's Premier League CANBERRA OLYMPIC 6 (S Barsley 2, O Wiederkehr 2, T Dries, A Butt) bt O'CONNOR KNIGHTS 0 at O'Connor Enclosed Oval.

Lifeline Cup:
Woden Valley defeated Canberra City 2-1 with goals from Jon Caggiano (signed up for on A-League poll:) and Marcia Zygmunt, (signed up) and Pat Ross-Magee replied for City.

Belconnen defeated ANU 4-0 with Danny Macor's replacement David Leet scoring a Macor like three, including a penalty. Matt Valeri got the other.

Coach Steve Forshaw (signed up) said his side, "didn't play well in the first half, but I'm delighted with the result, on a bumpy field it was a good performance.

Tuggeranong United beat Queanbeyan City 2-0 bursting Queanbeyan's recent good run.
19 year old Dale Westmore and Mark Shields scored for the victors. Andrew Bobinskas missed a penalty.

Next week Olympic take on Steve Forshaw's Belconnen. Forshaw said, "With Canberra FC so far ahead, the two sides have nothing to do but attack. It should be a great game, I'm expecting a feast of football."
