Clarence Zebras are proving to be difficult prey to catch after they sealed a stoppage-time win at the Lion's Den in the MyState Bank Women's Super League.
A blustery day at Lightwood Park for the Safari Derby saw most of the action in the first half of the game.
An equal start to this round 12 clash, where aggressive defending by Kingborough's Brontë Gadon throughout the game was key. Gadon denied current golden boot contender Allie Berry on a number of occasions allowing her little chance to break through, while at the other end of the park it was Steventon holding off Danielle…

Devonport Strikers extend their lead at the top of the NPL Tasmania ladder as Glenorchy Knights travelled to Valley Road for the first time this season. It was expected to be a replay of the epic Lakoseljac Cup final, where the two teams were so closely matched, that the game could only be decided by a penalty shootout two weeks ago.
But that's enough about penalty shootouts for this week.
With a crowd in excess of 500 people, the atmosphere at Valley Road was alive as the Strikers held their annual "Pink Day" in support of the McGrath Foundation. The crowd numbers could also have been…

It goes without saying that the health, safety and wellbeing of our players (and accompany parents, staff and spectators) comes first.

The Clarence Zebras are the NPL Tasmania’s team of the east after defeating the Olympia Warriors for the third time this season in a routine 3-1 victory.

The Italian contingent of fans behind the home goal had barely stopped celebrating the Euros success from six days prior when a frantic start saw the first real chance…

The Glenorchy Knights have put the Devonport Strikers on notice following a 2-0 win over title rivals South Hobart at KGV.
Heavy rain drove supporters into the stands at KGV, but it appeared James Sherman had managed to light a fire under his Knights who had the ball in the net within three minutes. Wing-back Jack Bowman supplied Austin Yost with a delightful cross, but the in-form marksman’s headed goal was denied by the offside flag. However, just as he did last week against the Kingborough Lions, Nick Mearns found the net in the…

A second-half Danielle Gunton strike and some impressive defending helped Launceston United to their third win in a row, overcoming a stubborn Taroona lineup 1-0 at Kelvedon Park. United had all of the play in the first half without any reward, and while the home side had their chances it was Gunton that pounced to claim the winner just after half-time.
United certainly looked the more confident side from the opening kick-off, and they spent the bulk of the opening portion of the game in their attacking half. Taroona goalkeeper Isolina Ottavi was called into action early, springing off her…
