Welcome to the Weekend Wash-Up as we take a look back on Round 8 of the McDonald's NPL Tasmania season. It was a weekend that had Derby delight for Launceston City, More Morton Magic for South Hobart, a dominant display from the Knights on the road and the Devonport Strikers once again scoring a dramatic victory. On a weekend where it seemed the Strikers lead atop the table may slip, they somehow found a way to pull it out of the fire and as a result they remain four points clear on top.

Welcome to the Weekend Wash-Up from Round 9 of the MyState Bank Women's Super League. It was a weekend that saw the title fight at Darcy Street end in a stalemate, the Pirates getting their first point of the season, and the Zebras turning the tables on the Lions in the Safari Derby. All in all, in terms of final scores it was probably the closest weekend in the competition's history. An extremely encouraging sign for the home stretch to follow after next weekend's week off for the Statewide Cup Final.

Strikers Make History with Third Consecutive Cup Triumph
The Devonport Strikers have created history, becoming the first side to win three consecutive Lakoseljac Cups, as they defeated South Hobart 1-0 in a tight, tense decider on Saturday evening at KGV. In a game with few clear-cut scoring chances, it was the Strikers’ clinical Spaniard, Roberto Fernandez Garrido who seized his opportunity in the 80th minute and fired the Strikers to a remarkable fifth Cup triumph since 2016.
It was a game that easily could’ve gone either way; it always seemed likely to be settled by a goal either…

Lions Face Improving Pirates
The lone game on Saturday pits the Kingborough Lions up against Taroona at the Kingston Twin Ovals.
Taroona seemingly turned a corner before the week off for the Cup Final, which probably came at a bad time for them. They surely would’ve preferred to try to build off the momentum of their breakthrough result, a commendable 1-1 draw away to the…
