Newcastle Olympic coach Paul DeVitis hopes a 5-2 win over third-placed Maitland at Cooks Square Park on Saturday can prove the "kickstart" they need after a slow start in NPLW Northern NSW.
The come-from-behind victory moved sixth-placed Olympic, who were the 2020 premiers and champions and last year's second-placed side, to nine points and within striking distance of the top four as the competition approaches its midpoint.
