Unfortunately, Kye Rowles will be sidelined after incurring a foot injury that will keep him from playing against his former club, Brisbane Roar. Peter Skapetis however could play against his old club for the first time on Saturday with the opportunity to make his Central Coast Stadium debut.
DON’T FORGET, we have a new BIG SCREEN and it’s first order of business will be the screening a FIFA 18 match between two of the Coast’s best electronic gamers. The match will determine who the Mariners’ Official E-League competitor is. Gates will open earlier at 6:30pm and fans are invited into the stadium to watch the FIFA battle on the big screen.
