Welcome to the Friday Forecast for Semi Final weekend in the MyState Bank Women’s Super League. A post-league season Cup is back on the agenda as finals returns for the first time in several years. Now to be clear, the existence of these finals doesn’t invalidate South Hobart as the Champion Team of 2023. This isn’t the A-League model and South Hobart has still won the major prize for the year. This is simply one more piece of silverware on offer for the clubs to try and add to their trophy cabinets and end the season with some excitement. It’s basically another Cup competition, which you…

Welcome to the Friday Forecast for Semi Final weekend in the McDonald’s NPL Tasmania. For the first time in many years, a post-league season Cup returns to the schedule in the form of a finals series. To be clear, this is not the A-League model and the existence of these finals doesn’t invalidate Devonport as the Champion’s of 2023. The Strikers have still won the major prize and nothing in the next fortnight invalidates that achievement. This is simply one more piece of silverware on offer for the clubs to try and add to their trophy cabinets and end the season with a big show. Given the…

Welcome to the Weekend-Wash Up from Semi Final weekend of the MyState Bank Women’s Super League season. It will be the Devonport Strikers taking on Clarence Zebras in the final next weekend after the Strikers brushed aside Launceston United and the Zebras produced a stunning upset to bounce the League Champions South Hobart in an exciting afternoon of action. Unfortunately, a camera failure at Valley Road, meant I was only able to see one of the two semi-finals, so I'll be going considerably more into depth into that match in this review.
