The Olympia Warriors produced a shock result at Darcy Street to claim a come-from-behind 3-1 victory over South Hobart, essentially ending the title hopes of the home side in dramatic fashion.
The Warriors team sheet had some notable absences, including captain Ben Tilley who suffered a season-ending hamstring injury in the final minutes at Devonport the week before. Ben Curtis has also played his last game for the Warriors after moving interstate, and the final name missing was that of coach Rob Clarke, leaving assistant coach Alex Holmes in…

Broadcast figures from the Olyroos & Matilda's performances at the Olympics show the phenomenal support Australians have for their national sides.
Despite a Group stage exit, it was the Olyroos' first appearance at an Olympics for 13 years. The opening shock win over Argentina showed the potential these youthful players can offer the nation going into the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. Tasmania's own Nathaniel Atkinson featured in the win, as well as the loss to Spain, but was suspended for the loss against Egypt, that knocked the Olyroos out of the tournament. The highest peak…

The Kingborough Lions fought back from a goal down to earn an important three points at Warrior Park on Saturday, although bizarre circumstances surrounded Greg Downes’ winning goal.
The Olympia Warriors entered the clash on a high after defeating South Hobart the week before, but the Lions were determined to get their season back on track having not tasted victory since round 13. Kobe Kemp starting the game in an advanced midfield position, just as he did in that round 13 victory, however Simon Vivarelli and Jorden Mundy partnered him in…
The Kingborough Lions defeated defending MyState Women's Super League champions Olympia on Sunday, earning their first ever victory at Warrior Park in an impressive 3-1 win.
Kingborough started the better of the two sides, gaining the mental edge with the Bonertz-Benn twins causing all sorts of trouble early. Striker Laura Davis made the first breakthrough after a Warriors turnover in the box gave her 40 yards of space to bamboozle the defence. A wonderful solo run saw Davis hit true with the aid of the sticks deflecting the ball into the…
Clarence Zebras head into the 17th round of the My State Women's Super League with a ladder lead of 16 points and a winning streak of the last 6 games.
It was always going to be a tough mountain to climb for South Hobart, whose side suffered a number of simultaneously injured players in early rounds. The Zebras unstoppable form proved too much for South Hobart to handle in an 8-2 loss at D'Arcy Street. It was a youthful Clarence Zebras that coach Ronnie Bolton included in this game against South, with a number of the State Selected under 16 youth players an inclusion to an experienced…

A late flurry of goals saw South Hobart claw back from a 1-0 deficit to win 2-1 over the Kingborough Lions on Saturday, keeping their title hopes alive in the process.
Both Jez Kenth and Ken Morton opted to make changes to their victorious starting lineups from the week before. Jayden Hey’s reinjured hamstring put an end to his season, meaning Patrick Kibler took his spot in the starting eleven alongside Loic Feral at the heart of defence. Hugh Undy retained his spot in the South Hobart midfield, while Jack Turner and Jackson Khasif…
It was a wild day at Warrior Park for round 18 of the MyState Women's Super League. Olympia, going into this clash at the beginning of round 18 would need to win this one to skip over Devonport Strikers and take second place. South Hobart in 6th place, would need to come back strong after a heavy defeat last week at home to WSL winners, Clarence Zebras.
Dominating the field for most of the first half was Inocent Michael. Her captaincy, experience and direction are needed for this squad, who have seen some enormous changes in their line-up since round one. It was South Hobart, however,…

The game of the season so far was the round 10 meeting between the Kingborough Lions and Riverside Olympic, and they will do battle again this weekend with the Lions desperate for a win to retain fourth spot.
The Glenorchy Knights’ title hopes were dealt a significant blow after they were left to rue a hoard of missed opportunities in a 0-0 draw with the Olympia Warriors on Saturday.
The Knights started brightly and came close to scoring as early as the third minute. Elliot Hoysted – starting in the Warriors’ net in place of Jake Hayers – attempted to punch clear a Knights corner but the ball fell to the feet of Eli Luttmer whose shot was denied by a late clearance. Hoysted came up with a big save in the 14th minute as Luttmer was denied again,…
Taroona defied all the odds in round 19, defeating reigning MyState Women’s Super League champions Olympia 3-1 on Sunday at Kelvedon Park and earning only their second win for the season.
Both sides would have been forgiven for playing out a stalemate, with the pitch in horrific condition from previous games, making mud and studs the themes of the day. What was looming a a dull affairs finally saw a breakthrough when Taroona’s Eli Cropp opened the scoring before half-time after running onto a great through ball. Down the wing Cropp went…
