CNN and the BBC World Service which is copyright and cannot be reproduced AEST = Australian Eastern Standard Time which is 10 hours ahead of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) Cover Image: 80kms Carlo Armiento is optimistic Adelaide United Youth can carry the momentum from their win over West Adelaide into their clash with Para Hills Knights at The Paddocks on Saturday. The Young Reds returned to form after a 4-2 victory over West at the weekend. Paul Pezos’ side had a healthy three-goal lead just after the interval before conceding twice in quick succession. However, Pacifique Niyongabire provided an angled finish to seal what was a rather dominant display. Armiento, who set up United’s third goal with a beautifully driven cross into the box, said the win came at the perfect time. “We thought we played pretty well against Adelaide City but we were just disappointed with the result,” Armiento said, as they lost 2-0 to City back in Round 3. “So I think going out and beating West Adelaide was a good confidence booster for the team.” Para Hills are still searching for their first win of the campaign, having suffered two defeats and collected two draws. The 19-year-old expected nothing less than a difficult encounter. “I think Para Hills is always a team that’s always going to fight even if they’re losing,” he said. “So it’s going to be a hard game especially away from home.” It’s 2nd v 3rd at Polonia Reserve on Saturday afternoon in what hopes to be an excellent battle of two in-form teams. An unbeaten Croydon Kings are coming off a 1-1 draw to top of the table Adelaide Olympic but can be encouraged by their performance after a positive start to the season. They are currently 3rd on the ladder with 8 points.  South Adelaide vs Adelaide Comets, Saturday3 pm at O’Sullivans Beach  Panthers will be desperate to take advantage of the coaching shakeup at Adelaide Comets this week as the two sides face off down at O’Sullivans Beach. The southern-based side will be looking to shake up their defensive structure after a 5-1 drubbing at NPL champions Campbelltown City last Saturday. The Panthers have leaked in fifteen goals in just four games with only four goals hitting the back of the net at the other end. Adelaide Comets were victims of the first coaching casualty of the season after their SA FFA Cup-winning coach Theo Tsiounis resigned following his sides 4-1 home loss to MetroStars. In a statement, Comets said, “Due to increased work commitments, Theo does not feel that he is able to provide the time and dedication to the Senior group that is required for the remainder of the season.” Tony Galanopoulos will lead the team for tomorrow’s match.  West Adelaide vs Raiders, Saturday 5 pm at VALO Football Centre  A struggling West Adelaide is still looking for its first win of the 2019 NPL Season as they welcome a newly promoted Raiders side who has their tails wagging. Steve Di Giovanniello’s side has lost three out of their last four matches and find themselves being sucked into an early relegation dog fight. West Adelaide can take something from last week’s 4-2 loss with Adelaide United, with signs of Carrusca creeping into the form we are all expecting. The former Adelaide United FC star produced the assist of the season with a sumptuous flick for Ryutu Hamanatsu to slide home. The Raiders come into the game on the back of a thrilling 2-2 draw with Adelaide City last Friday night. Terrence Carter produced a best on ground performance and hammered home the Goal of the Round with a delicious volley. In a repeat of last years NPL Grand Final, Adelaide City and Campbelltown City lock horns at Oakden under the lights on Saturday evening.  “We were very happy with our reaction after going 2-1 down and we had the chances to win the game late on. That is something to build on for the tough games ahead.” “I am very excited as it’s one of the biggest games of the season for both clubs. The rivalry has been very good over the years so it’s always one to look forward to.” “All the boys are confident we can get the three points at home and prove ourselves as a top team in 2019.” The Red Devils though are slowly starting to show signs of the form they showed last season, coming in from a resounding 5-1 demolition over a winless Panthers at Steve Woodcock Sports Centre last week.  Alex Mullen and Joes Allwright both bagged double braces, while Lui DiTroia returned to the scoresheet with a wonderful curled finish from outside the box, his first goal since returning from a horrific arm injury sustained at the end of last season.    Two of the three undefeated teams will do battle at VALO Football Centre on Saturday night as Olympic welcomes newly promoted Blue Eagles. The two sides are in a rich vein of form with Olympic opening up a two-point gap at the top of the tree after a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Croydon Kings last week. Ricardo Da Silva stroke home to give Olympic a point at Polonia.  Hamish McCabe, currently top of the ladder in the Triple M Player of the Year votes, will be looking carry on his form. The day after Adelaide United claimed its first NPL SA Championship ServiceFM Stadium was once again the stage as the rest of the men’s competitions concluded An action packed State Leagues Grand Final Day saw eight new Champions crowned The first senior Grand Final of the day saw State League Two Premiers Salisbury United take on Western Strikers and with both sides already promoted the sole focus became the silverware at stake Salisbury United put aside the disappointment of star Liam Bebbington missing out on the club’s big day due to suspension to start off the stronger of the two sides but despite that it was their opposition that struck first which was positioned closer to the touchline than the penalty box travelled all the way into Ben Dalwood’s top corner to spark celebrations for Western Strikers That was to be Strikers’ only shot on target in the first half and despite a strong defensive effort a lapse of concentration allowed Salisbury to equalise A ball over the top allowed Yusuf Ahmed to power past the Strikers’ backline and a desperate lunge from Tariq Eltahir allowed Salisbury’s Matt Taylor to equalise from the spot heading into the break.  The two sides exchanged blows in the second half Salisbury hitting the crossbar twice and forcing a tremendous save from Seth Buttery but they could not be separated as the clash entered extra time The tension was palpable in extra time and with the crowd growing larger due to the arrival of Adelaide Croatia Raiders and Para Hills Knights fans for the State League One Grand Final the game seemed to inevitably be heading for the penalty shootout until a moment of desperation from the Western Strikers defence prompted referee Liam Miller to point to the penalty spot Salisbury’s Connor McLaughlin got on the end of a loose ball that originated from long throw into the box before being unceremoniously sandwiched by two Western Strikers defenders Matt Taylor converted the forthcoming spot kick to hand Salisbury United the State League One Championship sealing his first piece of silverware for the club he has been a part of since Under 16s age group If the State League Two Grand Final was a slow burn its State League One counterpart was anything but Ricardo Da Siva had combined with Joey Coasta before Para Hills received a penalty for a foul on Keshav Shrestha that league top-scorer Riley Stam cannoned off the crossbar The hectic nature of the first 10 minutes of the game continued and Riley Stam made amends for his miss by picking out the bottom corner from range to level proceedings in what has turned out to be a breakout season to capitalise on a loose Donatien Niyonkuru touch in the box gave Para Hills the lead heading into the break Vlado Blažeka’s Raiders had it all to do in the second half but as the half wore on the Premiers were thwarted by Lachlan Fusco in the Para Hills’ goals the goalkeeper pulling off a string of strong saves to ensure his side retained the lead a Donatien Niyonkuru cross forced yet another save from Fusco but the ball fell in the path of Jimmy Odenwalder who smashed home the equaliser to set up a grandstand finish Joey Costa latched onto a perfectly weighted ball from Matt Majetic before being fouled by Fusco Captain Ricardo Da Silva took his chance from the spot with both hands and seemingly sealed the Championship for the Raiders.  Riley Stam curled home yet another equaliser The Para Hills players did not accept the decision and Diego Santos De Oliveira was sent off for remonstrating A rollercoaster of emotions culminated shortly after with Adelaide Croatia winning the State League One Championship and Para Hills Knights facing disappointment on their big day for the second season in a row with the only silver lining being that they will be competing in the NPL SA in 2024.  Earlier in the day the Under 18s and Reserves honours were also contested all victorious in their Grand Finals against

then I met Kate and now we plan to flip houses together It’s very handy having her experience on hand and we work really well together.” While the home’s floorplan has remained largely the same Mr

Even with South Australia’s median house price hitting a record $600,000 there’s still plenty of upside to be found across the capital city of Adelaide Smart Property Investment recently reported on the nearly 10 per cent lift in property prices seen across South Australia over the past 12 months with the Real Estate Institute of South Australia having noted that the state’s market “has continued to show its resilience and strength” Hotspotting director Terry Ryder acknowledged that Adelaide is “now classified as the nation’s second strongest economy” — spelling good news for property across the city If you check the box above before you log in you won’t have to log back into the website next time you return even if you close your browser and come back later He said Adelaide is now renowned for its consistently solid market performance with the city maintaining a steady pace while other markets have faltered “There has been only a marginal deterioration in the overall position of the Adelaide market,” he outlined with the number of suburbs classified as rising markets having decreased from the previous survey done in autumn but the number of consistency markets has risen It’s a sentiment shared by Hotspotting general manager Tim Graham who also noted that South Australia’s steadiness of performance “has become its trademark” after two years — from mid-2020 to mid-2022 — in which sales activity kept rising and rising is now dominated by locations where sales volumes are no longer increasing but have remained consistent at high levels,” he said What that means is that the city has “continued to deliver price growth at a time when larger cities have had falling prices” which Adelaide areas are being deemed as “hotspots” in June 2023 Some of the highlights for the northern suburbs area of Adelaide include $4 billion-plus worth of Defence projects the electrification of the Gawler train line and a master-planned community at Blakes Crossing the City of Salisbury has “defied the negative impacts of the pandemic through a construction boom made up of medium-scale projects Add to that the development pipeline and the attraction of major companies to the area and “all of this activity has buoyed the property market He also explained that “high demand is causing extremely low vacancy rates — the highest vacancy rate among the 10 local postcodes is currently at or below 0.5 per cent” this attractive combination is providing opportunities for entry-level investors,” he said Suburbs in the City of Salisbury include Bolivar A number of City of Salisbury suburbs were recently named in Smart Property Investment’s Fast 50 2024 — including Salisbury, Paralowie and Para Hills.
