Green Gully Travels to Port Melbourne in Search of First Win
Green Gully is set to hit the road this Friday night, facing Port Melbourne Sharks at JL Murphy Reserve as they continue their push for a first victory in the 2025 NPL Victoria season.
After three rounds, the Cavaliers are in 12th place, with two points from two draws and a narrow opening-round defeat.
Their latest outing saw them battle to a 1-1 draw with Hume City, with Aamir Abdallah scoring his second goal of the campaign from the penalty spot.
Despite showing promising signs in their early fixtures, Green Gully will be eager to convert their strong performances into three points.
Port Melbourne, meanwhile, has endured a difficult start to the season and is currently at the foot of the table without a point.
The Sharks have lost all three of their matches, scoring just once while conceding seven goals.
Their most recent result was a 2-0 defeat against Oakleigh Cannons, following losses to South Melbourne and Avondale.
While the hosts will be desperate to get their season up and running, Gully will see this as a golden opportunity to claim their first win of the campaign.
With attacking threats like Abdallah and Gianluca Iannucci looking dangerous in the final third and the midfield showing growing cohesion, David Chick’s side will aim to control proceedings and make their quality count.
A strong defensive performance will also be key, as Port Melbourne will likely throw everything forward in search of their first points. Gully’s backline, led by Jacob Eliopoulos and Maurice Nugent, must be organised and disciplined to handle the hosts’ attacking efforts.
With both sides eager to turn their seasons around, this fixture promises to be a competitive battle under the lights at JL Murphy Reserve.
Kick-off is set for 8:15 PM this Friday night.
