Goulburn Valley Suns are one of three non-top division state sides to make the Round of 32 stage.
They impressively defeated NPL Victoria Men’s side Hume City FC in a major upset, after close matches against Whittlesea Ranges and Lalor United Senior.
The Suns - founded in the same year as the Australia Cup first began - will have to channel that efficacious energy when taking on NPL NSW Men powerhouses APIA Leichhardt, but from the look of their qualifying campaign, they will be fierce competitors no matter the opposition.
