St Pat's play host to Parkes United in bid to keep undefeated tag intact

Pat's outclassed Wanderers in all areas of the game in last round's win and can go a long way towards locking down a top two place should they bring that quality against Parkes.

Entertaining team goals, a deadly short corner presence and strong use of both wings played a part in the win - one coach Shane Conroy said his team should reflect on fondly.

"We're combining well. We're happy with the way we threw the ball around," he said.

"It's that control that we're playing with which we're really impressed with. Hopefully that continues."

Pat's didn't have it all their own way in a 4-2 win over Parkes in round one.

There's been time for both teams to refine their game since that matchup but the home ground advantage could be a big factor.

"We played Parkes first round and they were strong. When they travel you don't know what they'll bring but from talking to the boys there they had a really good run against Panthers last week and were a bit unlucky," Conroy said.

"Parkes could all turn up 10 minutes before the game with just 11 players and they'd still be able to take it to you."

Saints and United play on Bob Roach Field from 1.50pm.
