Welcome to the Friday Forecast for Round 5 of the MyState Bank Women’s Super League. South Hobart enters this round atop the table, but with just a single point separating the competition’s top three sides, it remains very tight at the top. We’ve seen this set of fixtures once before, back in the opening round of the season, with a fixture quirk seeing these games played this week before the final set of fresh clashes will take place in Round 6. The opening round produced some highly entertaining matches so hopefully we see more of the same this time around as the sides prepare for the…

Welcome to the Weekend Wash-up after an entertaining Round 5 of the McDonald’s NPL Tasmania. It promised to be a weekend of close games and that was precisely what we were served up. All four games were decided by just a single goal in what must rank as one of the more tightly fought weekends in the league’s history.
Knights Grind Out Another WinThe round got underway on Friday night with the Glenorchy Knights taking on the Kingborough Lions at KGV, in what basically amounted to a bonus home fixture for the Knights with Lightwood Park out of operation. For the second Friday night in a row…

Welcome to the Weekend-Wash up after Round 5 of the MyState Bank Women’s Super League. It was a weekend that delivered a major shock, in the form of the Clarence Zebras thrashing the previously high-flying Devonport Strikers, before Sunday’s action played out in a more expected manner, with the competition's top two sides, South Hobart and Launceston United registering victories over Kingborough and Taroona.

Heavy Hitters All Remain In Lakoseljac Cup
In the Round of 16 of the Lakoseljac Cup, there were no games decided by less than 3-goal margins, as the favourites all took care of business in dominant fashion. It was devoid of the tension, drama and upsets that draw people to Cup football. The flip side of that is that we now have a final 8 loaded with the top sides and a thrilling slate of quarter-final clashes to come this weekend. What we lacked last round, we should have no shortage of this weekend.
The Quarter Final action will begin with Riverside Olympic hosting Hobart United at…

Surprise Results In Lakoseljac Cup Quarters
After the favourites all won comfortably in the Round of 16, the quarter-final stage of the competition threw up a couple of stunning score lines in an entertaining weekend of football.
The opening game of the weekend produced the first Cupset of the year. The lone Championship side remaining in Hobart United pulled off a memorable victory by marching into Windsor Park and downing NPL side Riverside Olympic 1-0.
United would’ve taken a lead into the halftime break if not for the heroics of Ari Johnson in the Riverside goal, who saved a…

Welcome to the Weekend-Wash Up following Round 6 of the McDonald’s NPL Tasmania. It was a weekend with few surprises as results largely played out as expected. The Strikers continue to hum along atop the table as the chasing pack sorts itself out. Whether a side can emerge from that group to pose any threat to the defending Champions remains to be seen. With the top four all winning this week, no ground was gained by anyone in the top half of the standings.

Welcome to the Weekend Wash-up after Round 7 of the McDonald’s NPL Tasmania. With the conclusion of this round each side has now played each other once and there are three distinct tiers seemingly emerging within the league. Devonport have once again emerged as the clear front runners, sitting in a tier of their own, four points clear on top and they remain the only undefeated side. There is still a long way to go of course, but I feel like we've seen this story before and they are unlikely to relent. Then there is a large middle tier, with six points separating Knights in second to the…
