Knights and Riverside Open Up Their Accounts
Glenorchy Knights and Riverside Olympic claimed their first-ever points in the WSL, playing out an entertaining 2-2 draw at KGV in a battle of the competition newcomers. Charley Read had the visitors ahead in just the third minute, before the game exploded into life either side of halftime. A stunning Meg Connolly run and goal in between a pair of strikes from the Knights left things delicately poised at 2-2 after 47 minutes and whilst both sides had opportunities to win it throughout the second half,…

McDonald’s NPL Tasmania Round 4
Points Shared In Top of the Table Clash
In the biggest game of the season to date, the spoils were shared between the Glenorchy Knights and South Hobart, as they played out a tightly contested 1-1 draw. The Knights squandered some decent scoring chances to take the lead and when Nick Morton converted from the penalty spot in the 72nd minute it appeared like it might cost them. But Riley Dillon came to his side's rescue with his late equaliser in the 88th minute earning a point that keeps the Knights on top of the table.

McDonald’s NPL Tasmania Round 5
Knights and Lions Play Out Thrilling Draw
After a slow start, the highly anticipated Lions v Knights clash came to life after the half-hour mark and it ended up being one of the more entertaining games of the season so far. With the Lions firmly on top at halftime and leading 1-0 after a Kemp penalty conversion, the Glenorchy Knights responded with a furious start to the second half. They scored two times and created a host of other scoring chances, but in between those goals Noah Mies headed home against the run of play to leave the game at 2-2,…

Knight and White Ensure Strikers Delight
The Devonport Strikers underlined their title credentials and perhaps established themselves as the early WSL favourites as they downed South Hobart 2-0 in a crunch game at Valley Road. Goals from Whitney Knight and Abbie White sealed a deserved victory for the Strikers in a game largely controlled by the defensive units. The Strikers now sit 2 points clear on top but crucially with a game in hand and are the only side to remain unbeaten through the opening five rounds.

The Kingborough Lions will welcome the undefeated Devonport Strikers to Lightwood Park in our Match of the Round for Round 6 of the Women's Super League.
It's a game that will be a tough test for a Lions outfit who have looked an improved outfit in 2024, but a shock 6-2 loss to Knights in their last WSL outing means the ladder-leading Strikers enter this one as the favourites as they prepare to meet on Saturday.

Taroona Rally Late To Deny Roos
Taroona struck twice in the dying moments to deny Riverside Olympic their first-ever WSL win and force a 2-2 draw. Riverside largely dominated the contest but were wasteful in front of goals and didn't extend their one goal lead till the 84th minute, when they finally scored a deserved second. But that sparked the Pirates to life, and against the run of play they struck twice in two minutes via Nickson and Walker to secure themselves a point, and then almost snatched all three with a near miss in stoppage time.…
