Coverage of Jets v Perth Glory
19.05.12
Adding last week's 3-0 victory against the Melbourne Heart to their winning streak, the Newcastle Jets now find themselves edging further up the ladder into fifth place.
Facing down against the fourth-placed Glory, the Jets must hold on to their away-game prowess if they are to continue their ascent through the rankings.
Newcastle have won three out of the four latest clashes against Perth, but have failed to beat the Glory on their home turf in the last six years.
A victory could mean some much-needed breathing room for the Jets, with only one point separating them from the sixth and seventh-placed Melbourne Heart and Sydney FC.
Listeners will be tuning into 1233 ABC Newcastle this Saturday evening a little later than usual to hear Grandstand's live coverage of the clash, which will also be available on the 1233 web stream at www.abc.net.au/newcastle.
Join host Aaron Kearney (with expert commentary by Clint Wheeldon and former Socceroo Stan Lazaridis) for the game call from 9.45pm, with kickoff scheduled for 10pm.
