McDonald’s NPL Tasmania Round 5 Friday Forecast
The McDonalds NPL Tasmania returns for Round 5 after the Easter Long Weekend of Lakoseljac Cup Football produced a weekend of mixed fortunes for the NPL sides. Six of the eight have made it through to the quarterfinals, whilst Clarence Zebras and Launceston City found themselves bounced out.
The draw has already been made for the Quarter Finals, with games to be played on the weekend of 6-8 May. The headline act from the final eight will undoubtedly be the rematch of last season’s epic decider with the Devonport Strikers taking on…

Football Tasmania has welcomed today’s announcement that a re-elected Morrison government will commit $1 million towards upgrades to Prospect Park.
The announcement, made by Liberal candidate for Lyons Susie Bower, all but guarantees a significant rejuvenation of Launceston City’s home ground can take place, following federal Labor’s $500,000 commitment made last month.
Both funding commitments are in addition to $1 million Tasmanian Government funding announced as part of the 2022 state election, and will go towards building new changerooms and additional club room and storage space…

In a big Round 5 of the McDonalds NPL Tasmania, the Devonport Strikers have moved top as they ground out a narrow win over South and saw one of their chief title rivals in Knights slipping up to City. Elsewhere Riverside broke their duck as they drew 1-1 with Clarence Zebras and the Lions hammered the Warriors 5-1 to round out the action on ANZAC Day.

Round 5 of the MyState Bank Women’s Super League is in the books. It was an interesting long weekend of action, where South Hobart secured a huge victory in a thriller at the Portress, Launceston United maintained their unbeaten start to the year and the Lions roared down at the Den.
South Survive Strikers Fightback
South Hobart survived a furious second-half rally from the Devonport Strikers to claim a massive 5-4 win in the first of the weekend’s fixtures as they moved up into second place on the table.
With South leading 4-0 at the halftime break, the game…

South Seeks Steadying Win Against Zebras
The Round gets underway with South Hobart looking to get their season back on track as they play host to Clarence Zebras at Darcy Street. Having dropped points in their past 3 fixtures, I would be expecting a fired-up South outfit for this one against a Zebras side who have proven themselves a tough side to beat so far in the league in 2022 but will still be big underdogs for this one.
Despite the lack of a win in their past 3, South aren’t playing bad football at the moment and they have played their 3 likely title…

Zebras Kick Off Huge Month at Darcy Street
The game of the round will take place at Darcy Street on Sunday as second placed South Hobart takes on third placed Clarence Zebras in a rematch of the Summer Cup Final.
South won that Cup Final 3-1 and they were the far better side on the day, fully deserving their victory. It was a rather flat performance from the Zebras and they then followed it up with a 3-1 loss to Launceston United in Round 1 of the WSL Season. For a team that won the league by 22 points last season, with a +44 superior goal difference to any other…

Round 6 was a weekend of pretty one-sided results in the McDonalds NPL Tasmania, as the title contenders flexed their muscles and all handily won in games they were expected to do so. Whilst last week’s Knights v City result showed that upsets can certainly happen in this competition, and that gap isn’t fully reflected on the ladder just yet, there is still what seems a pretty meaningful divide between the top sides and the rest of the league that exists, and it was on full display this weekend.

Round 6 of the MyState Bank Women’s Super League proved an interesting one as the weekend gave us multiple close games that were in the balance till very late on. South Hobart and Clarence Zebras produced a gripping arm-wrestle of a game where South perhaps announced themselves as the biggest threat to Launceston United by winning 2-0, whilst Taroona broke through for their first win of the season, downing Olympia 3-1 in a game that could’ve gone either way. The other game was not quite so close, as we saw Launceston United maintain their dominance of the competition, by shutting out a Lions…

Those matches demonstrated just how slim the margins between the top sides are this season and really hammered home that we have an almightily interesting Super League season in prospect here with a wide-open title race.
We get more of that title race unfolding this weekend with Devonport and Clarence set to renew hostilities in a rematch of last week’s narrow 1-0 Strikers win in what will be…
