PlayStation® 4 NPL Queensland rivals Northern Fury and FNQ Heat will meet in Townsville in their Westfield FFA Cup Qualifying clash this Saturday night, it has been confirmed.

The teams were originally scheduled to meet at Brolga Park in PlayStation® 4 NPL Queensland, however the fixture will now serve as a knock-out cup tie at the agreement of both clubs.

The PlayStation 4 NPL Queensland match will be rescheduled for later in the season.

Fury have form against their northern rivals in 2015, claiming their first ever win against Heat in Round 1 this year with a 3-2 result at Barlow Park in Cairns.

However, Heat have the better record between the clubs in knock-out football - defeating Fury 4-1 at the same stage of last year’s Westfield FFA Cup.

Despite both clubs conceding three goals in weekend league defeats, they recorded runaway 6-1 wins over community clubs in the previous round of Westfield FFA Cup Qualifying - Fury against Townsville Warriors and Heat against Stratford FC.

The winner of the Fury-Heat clash will advance to face the qualifier from the Whitsunday FC-Frenchville match to be played the same night at Airlie Beach for a spot in the national Westfield FFA Cup Round of 32.
