Katie-Louise Patterson's 1st Grade Debut
THE final round match between Sydney United 58 FC and Sutherland Sharks at Edensor Sports Centre ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw, in what was a special day for Luka Glavas as well as referee Katie-Louise Patterson.

The tall, 29-year-old striker was calling it a day on an illustrious playing career and heading towards retirement after rounding out his playing days at the Edensor Park based club.
