The Macarthur Rams have moved to fifth spot on the National Premier Leagues [NPL] 2 NSW Men’s competition ladder after recording their first win of the season on Saturday night.
And the Rams did it in style, putting four past Fraser Park in their first competition NPL match at home since the official opening of the artificial turf surface at Lynwood Park a few weeks ago.
Elsid Barkhousir hit his first for the club with Cristian Leiva Martinez and Mason Versi, along with an own goal by Davide Talone, providing Macarthur Rams with a comfortable victory on the night.
It was not Talone’s night, as he also received a red card later in the match. Fraser Park’s sole reply came from Nathan Sansom.
The Rams travel to the Central Coast on Saturday night to take on the Mariners in round three of the competition.
