History will
be made in Darwin on Saturday night as the inaugural Westfield FFA Cup entrant
from the Northern Territory will be decided.
Free-scoring
Darwin Olympic battle it out against Alice Springs outfit Celtic FC in what
should be a thrilling final at the Darwin Football Stadium.
What a
moment it will be for one of these clubs to go into July 1’s draw for the round
of 32 – and a possible match-up against a Hyundai A-League club.
Both sides
have had exceptional runs to the decider, underlining their quality with
crushing wins in their respective semi-finals.
Olympic
disposed of cross-town rivals Casuarina FC 7-2 last Tuesday after a devastating
first 25 minutes.
While they
lost star striker Peter Roditis to a broken leg, they slammed home four quick
goals after Casuarina had a player sent off early on.
Celtic FC
were just as impressive in their semi, defeating Scorpions FC 5-0 last
Thursday.
More than
640 clubs started the journey in the Westfield FFA Cup preliminary rounds and
now one of these sides is just 90 minutes away from joining the lucky 32 in the
competition proper.
It promises
to be a ripping encounter on what will be a memorable night for football in the
Top End.
