Melbourne Knights FC Official Website The Melbourne Knights will kick off their 2021 FFA Cup campaign against Old Scotch SC on Saturday, April 3.
The Knights will once again have to compete after a shorter break, following their 1-0 loss to Heidelberg United during the week.
During the Knights’ last match, the boys unfortunately lost by the narrowest of margins, consequently conceding top spot on the league table. The loss was also their first at home this season.
