As the NPL3 season continues to heat up, the Essendon Royals are preparing to take on the Boroondara-Carey Eagles in a pivotal match this Friday, July 28, at Cross Keys Reserve. The Royals, currently sitting in the 10th spot on the ladder, are eager to secure a victory and distance themselves from the relegation zone.
The last time these two teams clashed, spectators were treated to a thrilling 2-2 draw. The Royals, despite their current standing, showcased their ability to challenge even the toughest opponents. However, maintaining consistency throughout the full 90 minutes has been a recurring challenge this season.
The Royals will be without Anthony Ramzy due to an accumulation of yellow cards, whilst on the other side of the pitch, Boroondara-Carey Eagles will be missing Lachlan Nichols and Daniel Ferlaino, who both miss this week with suspensions.
The Royals have a history of showcasing their potential, as evidenced by their 2-0 lead in the previous encounter with Boroondara, as well as their 2-0 lead last week against Ballarat. Despite the final results, the Royals know they can hurt their opponents offensively and if they can pair that with renewed confidence at the back, they will be a tough team to bit.
The club is calling on all members and the wider community to come out in force and create an electric atmosphere for the match. Entry for members is free, and the Royals Bistro will be serving up a variety of delicious dinner and drink options, ensuring a fantastic night out for all.
With the stakes high for both teams, this match promises to be an exciting encounter. The Royals are ready to put their best foot forward and secure a victory, proving that they have what it takes to compete at this level.
