The draw for rounds 2 and 3 of the Australia Cup has been released. It appears (on paper at least) many favourable draws for local clubs. We have been drawn home in 15 of 17 games.
We have an all FSC Cup fixture with Shellharbour FC taking on Tarrawanna with the winner to face League 1 side Northern Tigers in the next round. The rest of the Premier League sides all appear to be favourites in their respective clashes although Wollongong United will face a tricky fixture against Flame.
