It’s another trip to Tompsett Stadium for Heidelberg United – this time to take on St Albans in Round 3 of the NPL Men’s Competition.
John Anastasiadis’ charges found it tough going on grinding out a narrow win against Melbourne Victory in Round 2, with Bisetto’s first half strike enough to give his side maximum points in its first home match of the year. After a solid first 45 minutes, during which several chances were spurned, Heidelberg were forced to defend stoutly by a fast finishing opponent, eventually prevailing in rain swept conditions.
So, after a narrow loss followed by a narrow win, it’s St Albans at the home of the Knights that awaits Alexander on Sunday. The Saints’ regular home pitch surface undergoing an upgrade, and for that, Heidelberg may be a touch grateful, having not won at Fox St since 2017. The Saints for their part have just a point from the opening two games, and will be just as keen to pick up full points this weekend.
The match, which will finish off Round 3, is at 5:00pm on Sunday, February 23, 2025 at Tompsett Stadium, North Sunshine.
