LITHGOW Workmens Club Soccer Club will be contesting the Bill Cullinan Cup, a state cup knockout tournament conducted by Football NSW.
The knockout is for association-based male teams and Country Association representative or club teams.
The tournament has attracted nearly 500 entries each season and is an opportunity for club teams from all areas of Football NSW to compete against teams from outside their own association.
Workies will be playing their first round this Sunday at 11am at the Lithgow Greyhound Track football field and their opponents will be the Colo Football Club.
The fixtures of the other matches in the knockout can be seen on the Football NSW website.
The seconds and thirds had the bye on the weekend after posting two good wins in their last matches.
In the seconds, Workies took the match 3-2 against CSU Bathurst Red with Bayden Charlton and Martin Hunter scoring in the first half with Bob Callcott wrapping up the win with a good goal in the second half.
Best for the seconds were Martin Hunter, Logan Inwood and Eli Shirt.
The thirds enjoyed a dominant win over CSU Bathurst with Workies setting up the win in the first half when Neil Martin, Jack Bilby and Jarod Inzitari all found the back of the net.
The second half was more even with Ben Smith scoring as did CSU to make the final score 4-1 to Workies.
Workies welcomed a number of new players and their best on the day were Aiden Thompson, Ben Smith and Jordan Ticehurst.
