F-League Final Round

Round 10 of the 2014 hummel F-League season happens this weekend, and will see 13 matches played across both Sydney and Canberra that will determine the men’s and women’s teams that will take part in this season’s finals series, and determine the women’s season premiers.

Already in the Men’s competition, Dural Warriors have the top spot sewn up – and with it 2015 qualification for the Asian Futsal Champions League. They will no doubt be continuing their quest for an unbeaten season.

In the Women’s competition the Sydney Scorpions can wrap up the number one spot with a couple of wins or a win and a draw from their final two matches at Valentine Park. The Boomerangs could sneak top spot with two wins, and having the Scorpions not gain a point from either of their two matches (against Dural Warriors and Vic Vipers). The Boomerangs women though themselves have a couple of tough matches to get through — against two teams they have lost to already this season – Capital FC and South Brisbane. The final outcome of the women’s top four is as unpredictable as it could be, with all teams capable of a top four finish. A cracking way to finish the regular season.

The men’s competition sees a far simpler equation. With Dural having already sewn up the minor premiership, and East Coast Heat and Vic Vipers having secured the next two positions (but in what order, we don’t yet know), the only unknown is whether the Boomerangs men can win both their matches (against Capital FC and South Brisbane), AND have Sydney Scorpions not secure a win from either of its final two matches (against Dural Warriors and Vic Vipers). Definitely a tougher road home for the Scorpions, but they are a fighting team and will leave no stone unturned in their effort to grab the fourth finals place.

A second place on the table will equal the Boomerangs women’s results from last season – the inaugural season of the Women’s F-League. A fourth place for the men will see them also match the results of the last two seasons, where they also finished in fourth position after the regular season. Not finishing in the top four would be extremely disappointing for the lads.

A tense weekend of futsal beckons with it kicking off on Friday night at the AIS and at Dural, and continuing throughout Saturday and Sunday at the AIS, Dural and Valentine Park.

By late Sunday the finalists will be known – with the semis and final to be played the following weekend at Valentine Sports Park.
