Now that the National Youth League season is over, the focus for the A-League Youth teams turns to the NPL.
NPL WA
NPL WA kicks off this weekend, and after coming off a decent season in the National Youth League, Perth Glory Youth begin their 2019/2020 campaign away to Floreat Athena.
Last season the Glory were defeated by Perth SC in the grand final, after finishing a point adrift in second place during the regular season. No doubt Glory Youth will aim to do just as well – if not better – this campaign.
