Welcome to the Weekend Wash-up for another week as we recap all of the action from the penultimate round of the McDonalds NPL Tasmania.
It was a weekend that began with a bit of a surprise, as Olympia downed the Glenorchy Knights 3-1 on the Friday Night before regular programming resumed on Saturday with the Strikers downing Riverside 4-0 to extend their winning streak. The Lions produced a fine display to score a thumping 3-0 win over Launceston City which temporarily moved them into second, but they were displaced on Sunday by South Hobart, who fought hard to overcome a valiant…

Welcome to the Friday Forecast for the final time this season as we reach the last weekend of the 2022 MyState Bank Women’s Super League.
Heading into the final round we have a reasonably clear picture of how things are set to end up, with five of the final seven finishing positions now locked in. Only third and fourth positions can be switched and that’s only if the Zebras can upend the Strikers by three goals in their match. Launceston United have officially won the title and so the pressure is off as they take on an Olympia side resigned to a last-placed finish whilst the final game…

Welcome to the Friday Forecast for the final time this season as we reach the last weekend of the 2022 McDonalds NPL Tasmania season.
The majority of the final finishing positions are locked in ahead of the final set of games with just second and third place still left up for grabs. Individual awards may not yet be settled, and everyone wants to end the season on a high, so there is still plenty worth playing for but it’s fair to say that team motivations aren’t always fully dialled in at this time of the year and that can lead to some upset results.
The end of the season games will be…

Awards Night Headlines Final Day News
We headed into the final weekend of the year with things largely settled. The only ladder position still up for grabs was the Lions pursuit of South Hobart in second place.

Injury forced Mac Northeast to give up playing football – but it’s only one of the reasons he became a referee.
“Firstly, because many of my son’s U17 games didn’t always have [assistant referees] or sometimes only one, so it was obvious that we are short on referees,” he said.
“But mainly just to give back to the sport that I have been a part of as a player, coach, or parent for more than three decades.
“I did an ACL in my first game back in nearly 20 years earlier this year, signaling the end of my days as a player, so this is a great way to stay in touch…
