Catch up with all the sport that took place across Network 10 in October

October saw the Isuzu UTE A-League return to our screens, the Australia MotoGP returned for the first time since 2019 while the 2022/23 NBL season also tipped off!

There were also two massive CommBank Matildas matches played with Tony Gustavsson’s side having gone head to head with South Africa and Denmark.

Isuzu UTE A-League Men in full swing

The 2022/23 Isuzu UTE A-League Men’s campaign has been full of action and plenty of talking points as we fast approach round 5. Melbourne City have once again proven to be one of the teams to beat while Western Sydney Wanderers have been the surprise package with an extremely positive start to their season.

We witnessed a cracking encounter at the brand new Allianz Stadium in round one as Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory delivered on the entertainment front as Portuguese star, Nani, made his league debut.

It’s been a contrasting start for reigning champions, Western United, who remain rooted to the bottom of the table – yet to claim their first win.

The competition also hasn’t been short of controversy with the Bruno Fornaroli saga dominating headlines over the last few weeks.

The league has undoubtedly begun with a bang and there’s plenty more to look forward to before the World Cup break.

Behind the Scenes with A-Leagues All Access

The new addition to the 2022/23 A-League calendar is the A-Leagues All Access Series. This new series has so far been a roaring success with supporters finally provided with an insight into the day to day life of an A-League footballer.

The series began with none other than ex-Manchester United star, Nani, and was followed by a very intriguing feature with former QPR and Southampton striker, Charlie Austin.
