We are set for a HUGE final round as teams are hunting a top 6 finals spot, while others are trying to avoid relegation in National Premier League – SA competition as we head into Round 22.
Cumberland United vs Adelaide United
Sat 18 Sep - 7:30PM

Cumberland United are not out of the woods from relegation, but their +5 goal difference compared to Croatia, may just allow them to survive relegation if they lose to United and Croatia wins.
