Adelaide United vs Melbourne Victory : Round 2 A...
Friday night marks a new chapter in one of the A-League's fiercest rivalries, when the reds and the Victory renew hostilities in front of a sell-out crowd at Adelaide's Hindmarsh Stadium. It will be the second time that the Harry kewell show has hit Adelaide - as the league's biggest-ever recruit played 45 minutes of a friendly at Hindmarsh just three weeks ago - and the Socceroos star and his team mates will be hungry to notch up Melbourne's first win of the 2011-2012 campaign, following last...
Perth Glory vs Adelaide United : Round 1 A-League...
Week one of the new A-League season rounds out in the west on Sunday afternoon, with the league's two oldest clubs Perth and Adelaide locking horns at NIB Stadium. The Glory came out victorious the last time these two teams met, with a 4-2 win at home in Round 19 last year, however the reds won both the previous encounters last season and hold a superior record in their 18 head-to-head meetings with Perth, having won 10 and drawn three. On the back of a horrendous season, which saw them win just...
Gold Coast United vs Wellington Phoenix : Round 1...
A new-look Gold Coast side will begin their 2011-2012 A-League campaign at home against cash-strapped Wellington on Sunday afternoon, hopefully in front of an improved crowd at Skilled Park. Despite a fairly succsessful campaign on the field, United finished in clear last place in terms of attendance averages last season - often struggling just to break the 1,000 spectators barrier - and the club has since had to deal with a massive turnover in playing talent during the off-season. Gone are former...
Brisbane Roar vs Central Coast Mariners : Round 1...
The third and final clash of the A-League's opening night triple-header is a mouth-watering grand final rematch between reigning champions Brisbane and runners-up Central Coast at Suncorp Stadium, which was the scene of March's epic saga that ended in a penalty shoot-out win for the Roar after they had staged a miraculous comeback late in extra-time to draw 2-2. The respective 117th and 120th minute goals to Henrique and Eric Paartalu not only allowed Brisbane the chance to claim the championship,...
Melbourne Victory vs Sydney FC : Round 1 A-League...
Saturday night's match between arch rivals Melbourne and Sydney is arguably the most highly anticipated club game in the history of Australian domestic football, having been billed as the homecoming of local stars Harry Kewell and Brett Emerton, following the pair's stellar European careers. Victory officials are expecting close to a packed house at Etihad Stadium as they begin a new chapter in the club's history, following not only the arrival of Kewell, but also the departure of their foundation...
Newcastle Jets vs Melbourne Heart : Round 1 A-Le...
After an extra-long off-season and an extremely exciting build-up, the new A-League season will begin with a clash between two of last season's non finalists, with Newcastle hosting the Heart at Ausgrid Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The two sides split their three head-to-head games last season, with the Jets running out winners in the most recent encounter at AAMI Park in December last year, after the Heart had recorded their first ever away victory in their debut campaign with a 2-0 win over...

Collingwood vs Geelong : Finals Week 4 AFL 2011
After being walloped by Collingwood in their 2010 preliminary final, Geelong was supposed to be on the slide. It was expected to be the end of a great era of Cats dominance. But, here we are just over 12 months on, and Geelong is on the verge of claiming its third premiership in five seasons – at the expense of the Magpies winning its second in succession – the two sides clashing in Saturday’s Grand Final at the MCG. Despite waning belief from the football-going public, and Collingwood marching...

After yet another action-packed, drama-filled season, the NRL's big day for 2011 has finally arrived, with second-place regular-season finishers Manly taking on surprise packets New Zealand (sixth) in front of a sell-out crowd - as well as a massive tv audience - as the two sides do battle for premiership glory at Sydney's ANZ Stadium late on Sunday afternoon.
