Round 4 of the FFA Cup welcomed the NPL clubs and there were already some big dominoes to fall to state league opposition. All in all there are 11 NPL clubs left, seven NPL2, eight State 1, four State 2, and one State 3 club left so far with the round set to be finished on Sunday. The regional representation struggled, with Greater Geelong, the Goulburn Valley, Albury-Wodonga, Bendigo and Ballarat sides bowing out.
