This year Broadmeadow Magic are lining up for their second shot at the FFA Cup. After bowing out in the Round of 32 in the inaugural event last year, the Magic have been cursed by injuries, inconvenience and suspension this year.
Broadmeadow Magic are one of two Northern NSW NPL representatives in the FFA Cup, the other being competition leaders Edgeworth FC, who have drawn Melbourne City in the Round of 32.
Broadmeadow face the slightly easier assignment of Victorian NPL outfit Heidelberg United, albeit with a patched up backline. It’s expected that the Magic will go into the tussle minus both regular central defenders Jon Griffiths and Josh Piddington.
Griffiths received a nightmare two game suspension last week against Michael Bridges’ Lambton Jaffas. Piddington meanwhile, will have to defy the medical community by recovering from fractured ribs in less than three weeks. “I’m certainly doing everything I can do to get these bones healed as quickly as I can,” the defensive hard man told the Newcastle Herald.
Speaking with Broadmeadow’s co-manager Robert Virgili, there is a level of respect for the club’s Victorian opponents. The former NSL club are currently second in their NPL competition, and Virgili was aware of the team’s strengths through his Melbourne connections.
“They’re a direct side with mobility up front,” he said. But Broadmeadow will look to stifle that threat with their own strength.
Though sitting fifth in the NNSW NPL Broadmeadow are the competition’s highest goal scorers. “Our strength is our attack,” Virgili said. Hinting at some cautious play early, the manager was adamant that his side weren’t going to simply park the bus.
The home side will also be hamstrung by the late arrival of club legend Peter Haynes who is away on a coaching assignment in Japan. The goalscoring threat will arrive in Australia on the day of the match, just like he did for last year’s FFA Cup tie with Brisbane Strikers.
On a personal level Virgili said, that a meeting with an A-League club in a full competition scenario would be the pinnacle for him.
He and co-manager Bob Naumov will need to overcome Heidelberg United for that opportunity to present itself. After winning three grand finals and two premierships with Broadmeadow Magic between 2011 and 2013, Virgil took time out, but was wooed back by the ‘magic of the cup’.
Virgili was impressed by the exposure NPL clubs received last year and was genuinely surprised by the success of the FFA Cup. While Broadmeadow Magic vs Heidelberg United will not feature as the main game on Foxsports next Wednesday, there will be single camera coverage to ensure every goal is captured.
In an honest assessment of his team’s hopes Virgili said, “On our day, at our best (we could win), but with them guys out it may be the difference.”
Nevertheless, Broadmeadow are in with a fighting chance and they’ll know that the history of underdogs doing the unthinkable is what makes cup football so magical.
NOTE: Match kicks off at Wanderers Oval (a.k.a Magic Park) 7:30pm, Wednesday 29th July. Heidelberg United fans should use the nearby Broadmeadow Station for convenient access to the ground (less than 10 mins walk).
I’m impressed by your writing. Are you a professional or just very knbgaedwelole?

It was a nicely done song! But it gave out the wrong message about how to handle a problem. In stead of staying a fighting they took the sleazy way out and did nothing.I wonder if this was learned from Obama’s days in the Senate??
Hi! Someone in my Facebook group shared this internet site with us so I came to check it out. I’m certainly loving the info. I’m book-marking and will likely be tweeting this to my followers! Outstanding blog and fantastic style and style.

I am totally aware of what is happening to cosmetics today and it is awful. THANK YOU for putting this video on your beautiful website. Wake up America – we have to take this matter into our own hands – don’t let corporate America dictate what you buy. Gratefully yours, Joanne
One other fact to consider is if China were to allow the RMB/US$ to reflect it's true valuation of about half, China's GDP as measured in dollars would be double what is being reported.
Wow, superb blog layout! How prolonged have you been blogging for? you make blogging look painless. The largely expression of your locate is brilliant, agree to on your own the content!
Was it as good for you guys, as it was for me? This has to be one of my all-time favs. This guy is no wouse. He does the honourable thing, and keeps squeezing. In just about every other video I have seen, the popper never gives the juice a chance to make itself known to the audience. Patience is the virtue here. Keep the pressure on and all will be revealed.Caio—Prunesquallor
I love the redneck america part. It sounds homey and familiar. Yes, it's insofisticated but part of me likes redneck lifestyle (on someone else's farm, mostly). It's like an old shoe.
Seif. Grants pay for all of these studies and you can trace every single one of them back to a conservative or liberal supporter. It’s all the results of our lobbyist model and it will kill this country long before CO2 does. So do you drive a polluting Prius? Answer my question. Cause if you do, you are sucker!
bueno solo me di una vuelta por este sitio tan genial y vi que piden testimoniopues yo quiero dar el mio gracias a que descarge este libro hace 5 meses ahora disfruto de un verdadero matrimonio ahora tengo con mi esposo un lazo como no tenÃa antes
Perhaps it has. This would explain the drop in U and the rise in H quite neatly.But that's only attested in Central Europe, if anywhere. You can't generalize from such a particular case.
Yup, that’ll do it. You have my appreciation.
Superior thinking demonstrated above. Thanks!
Két gyakorlati kérdés:1. A szarvasgomba nyersen meddig, hol, hogyan tárolható?2. A FÅ‘vám téri csarnokban hátul idÅ‘nként meg szoktak jelenni gombaárusok, többek között szarvasgombával. Van valakinek tapasztalat róluk? (Ez a latin neves kérdés jó ötlet, de ha valakinek van információja róluk, azt szÃvesen fogadom.)

leanne: sorry about the problems you had before with commentluv causing wordpress to store extra rows in the options table, this was something that wasn’t noticed for a while because it didn’t happen on everyones site. The new version goes off site to get the post now so there is nothing stored anywhere in the wp database except the extra text on the comment.do you think I need to add an option on the new version of commentluv to clean up any mess that might have been made by older versions?

I admire the precious knowledge you be offering for your articles. I can bookmark your blog and feature my kids check up right here generally. I am moderately certain they’re going to be told lots of new stuff here than anyone else!
Uskallan lyödä vetoa että esimerkiksi Puolimatka ei nosta meteliä tästä, vaikka on tasa -arvoa kannattavinaan. Eikä hänen seuraajansakaan.”Tasapuolisesti” sanotaan vain kun se ajaa tietyn ja suppean kristillisen näkemyksen asemaa.
That’s a posting full of insight!
Entirely FWIW … I was talking the other day to a guy who knows some people high up in the Turkish government. According to him, Turkish elites were never seriously eager to join the EU/Eurozone. Thezy let it out that they were because they wanted to force certain reforms on their country. And they succeeded. But they were completely dumbfounded when Europeans then took their bid for membership very seriously.
Thanks to Warbler & to Big Dave for the hints. I quite enjoyed this one, but got stuck at top, needed 7 of Dave’s excellent hints to finish. No real favourites.
