We host APIA Leichhardt in a Saturday night blockbuster that promises goals and entertainment.

APIA are known for their heavy investment in attacking talent, but David Perkovic has built a Sutherland side designed to be defensively robust and dangerous in transition.

This is a clash of philosophies: APIA’s expansive attack against the Sharks’ organized, high-pressing system. A win against a high-profile opponent like APIA under the lights creates the kind of momentum that defines a season.
