Last Tuesday night, Fletcher Fulton and his team of semi-professional soccer players from Heidelberg United faced the A-League’s Western Sydney Wanderers, who had in their side one current Socceroo and a former national team midfielder. Heidelberg won 3-0. By 7am the following day Fulton had swapped his soccer boots for work boots and a high-vis vest, and was back at his day job as a civil engineer. That’s the beauty of the Australia Cup (Football Australia’s answer to England’s FA Cup). On any given day, a local team such as Heidelberg, from NPL Victoria, can topple an A-League side such as the Western Sydney Wanderers.
