Boasting former A-League Men veterans Nikolai Topor-Stanley and Ben Kennedy, Lambton Jaffas will be joining the Round of 32 for just the second time after securing qualification as one of two Northern New South Wales sides.

Region: Northern New South Wales

Road to the Round of 32:

  • Adamstown Rosebud FC 0-2 Lambton Jaffas FC

  • Lambton Jaffas FC 5-1 Newcastle Croatia

  • Broadmeadow Magic FC 1-2 Lambton Jaffas FC

Lambton Jaffas qualified for the Australia Cup Round of 32 with four victories of differing natures, featuring a 5-1 thrashing as well as two closely contested 2-1 games.

Lambton conceded just three goals across their four Preliminary Round matches, which should come as no surprise considering they have former A-League Men players Nikolai Topor-Stanley and Ben Kennedy featuring in their backline.

Their Preliminary Round clash saw them take on Broadmeadow Magic FC at Magic Park, with a last-gasp goal from Patrick Bond giving them victory in the 90th minute, after equalising through Bailey Newton in the 78th minute.
