Welcome to the weekend Wash-up for another week and it once again it’s a case of another week, another step closer to the league title for the Devonport Strikers. As they have continued to find a way to do all season long, they simply got the job done over South Hobart and are now looking just about uncatchable atop the table. Whilst the gap remains the same to Knights and Lions as it was a week ago sitting at 8 points, this was one of the tougher fixtures left on their slate and if they aren’t dropping points here, it's hard to see them doing it the 3-4 more times they would need to for…

Welcome to the Friday Forecast for Round 13 of the MyState Bank Women’s Super League season. Despite just having the two games scheduled, this looms as a particularly important weekend in Season 2022. That’s in no small part due to the season defining showdown on the Sunday between the Clarence Zebras and South Hobart. The other game will see Launceston United taking on the Kingborough Lions in a rematch of the Statewide Cup Final. Taroona and Olympia have already played their scheduled match midweek with the Pirates proving too strong which is where we will start this week. …

Welcome to the Friday Forecast for another week as we take a look ahead at Round 13 of the McDonalds NPL Tasmania. On the surface we it would seem like have four games with four heavy favourites this week, as the competition’s top four sides come against the bottom four. Back in Round, the last time we had these fixtures that led to four decidedly one-sided matches, with 4-1 the closest result. So can anyone flip the script this time around? Let’s see how likely that is.

Despite pitting the top 4 on the table against the bottom 4, Round 13 of the McDonalds NPL Tasmania was a weekend of largely tight encounters across the board. Whilst Devonport won with a relative ease over Riverside, Knights and South were made to grind out narrow victories over Olympia and the Clarence Zebras whilst Launceston City upset the Kingborough Lions to claim a second big win on the road South for the year.

There were just the two games in the MyState Bank Women’s Super League this weekend, but it was still a significant Sunday in season 2022 all the same. The winner of the Clarence Zebras v South Hobart game was undoubtedly Launceston United, as South and Zebras had to settle for a point in a 2-2 draw and combined with United’s thumping 7-0 win over the Lions, they now sit five points clear on top with a game in hand. With 4 of their final 7 games against the bottom 3 sides, even if South Hobart were to go on a tear and win their final 7 games, which would be a tough ask, United may now…

Welcome to the Friday Forecast ahead of Round 14 of the MyState Bank Women’s Super League. With Launceston United, Olympia and South Hobart all out of action this weekend the focus is on sorting out the rest of the table, with third playing fourth and fifth playing sixth. That should give us a pair of interesting and hopefully closely fought clashes in the two games we do have following the Warriors and United postponement.

Welcome to another week of the Friday Forecast as we take a look ahead to Round 14 of the McDonalds NPL Tasmania season. This will mark the end of the second full round of fixtures, albeit with a Launceston City v South Hobart game to still be caught up on. With the exception of that game however it will be a case of everybody now having played each other twice and the stage will be set for the final sprint to the finish. The Strikers should have healthy lead heading into those final 7 games, and it could even be extended this week with their two nearest rivals set to square off which is…

A $1.3 million City of Hobart project to help level the playing field for young women and girls has kicked off at the home of the New Town White Eagles Soccer Club with a major overhaul of the team's change rooms and sporting pavilion.
"Participation in women's sport is surging across Australia, and the number and quality of sporting facilities plays a key role in encouraging and sustaining this growth," City of Hobart Acting Lord Mayor Helen Burnet said.
"The New Town White Eagles Soccer Club, which calls Clare Street Oval home, is no exception, but the ability for more girls and…

Welcome to the Weekend Washup as we take a look back on Round 14 action in the MyState Bank Women’s Super League. With the top two sides out of action we had just the two games for the weekend with two decisive winners emerging. The Devonport Strikers kept themselves firmly in the mix for a top 2 finish as they comfortably beat the Clarence Zebras, whilst the Kingborough Lions proved far too strong for Taroona.

Welcome to the Weekend Wash Up for another week as we hit the 2/3 mark of the season. Barring that one South Hobart v Launceston City game that still needs to be caught up on, everyone has now played each other twice and has one more remaining head-to-head against each other left to play. With the Lions big win over the Knights this weekend coupled with Devonport beating the Zebras, the Strikers are now 11 points clear on top with 7 rounds left to go. Barring one of the more spectacular implosions in the game’s history, the title race appears all but over and it’s pretty safe to say that the…

Welcome to the Friday Forecast as we take a look at the upcoming Round 15 action in the MyState Bank Women’s Super League as sides begin to play each other for the third and final time this season. It’s a big weekend for Devonport with their annual pink game being staged against the Kingborough Lions, whilst Launceston United face one of their biggest remaining hurdles in their title bid taking on the Zebras. Should United slip up then South Hobart have a great chance to close the gap to them in Sunday’s lone fixture against Olympia.

Welcome to the Weekend Washup as we take a look back on Round 15 of the McDonalds NPL Tasmania competition. It was a weekend of closely fought games with none closer than the thrilling draw at the Portress, where the Lions held the Strikers in a pulsating match. Elsewhere South Hobart got out of jail with a late Nick Morton winner against the Warriors whilst Launceston City and Glenorchy Knights both claimed 3-0 victories over Clarence Zebras and Riverside respectively.

Welcome to the Weekend Washup for 16 of the MyState Bank Women’s Super League. It was a weekend of one-sided games across the board, though one of those results was certainly more surprising than the others. They may have ultimately left their run too late but South Hobart’s crushing 6-0 win over the previously undefeated Launceston United breathed some life into the title race and ensured United won’t run away with it. Elsewhere Devonport and Clarence Zebras also coasted to less shocking 6-0 wins over Taroona and Olympia as they both maintained their positions in third and fourth place on…

Welcome to the Weekend Washup as we take a look back at Round 16 action in the McDonalds NPL Tasmania. It was a weekend where the Devonport Strikers moved another step closer to mathematically sealing the title by downing the Knights and taking advantage of that result the Lions moved into second place with a win over Riverside. South Hobart went a long way to securing their spot in the top 4 with a win over fifth placed Launceston City and the Clarence Zebras enjoyed a thumping win over their neighbours in the Derby.
