The Roos are the definite surprise packets remaining at this stage of the competition, having struggled in the NPL thus far this year, but they’ve taken advantage of their draw to score two…

The trend of draws between the top four sides continued at D'arcy Street on Saturday as the Kingborough Lions and South Hobart played out a 3-3 classic. The ladder leaders South Hobart jumped out to a 2-0 lead thanks to a Nick Morton brace, but the Lions rallied to lead 3-2, striking twice in 5 minutes midway through the second half and were just minutes away from victory before Bradley Lakoseljac struck late to secure a point for the hosts in what was probably the game of the season to date.

Round 9 Match of the Round: Launceston United v Devonport Strikers
Round 9 kicks off with a rare Friday night fixture, as Launceston United hosts the Devonport Strikers at Birch Avenue in the Match of the Round.
United are one of 3 sides separated by just a single point on the table and they sit 7 points behind the Strikers heading into what will be their second meeting of the season. They have the chance to really push themselves back into the thrust of the title race if they can topple the ladder leaders here, but a defeat would leave them perhaps too far back to challenge.…

Match of the Round: Launceston City v Glenorchy Knights
Round 9’s Match of the Round takes us to TassieCare Park where fifth-placed Launceston City hosts the competition-leading Glenorchy Knights.
City will enter this one off the back of a victory last Friday night over Riverside, but coach Daniel Syson knows his side will need to be better if they are to repeat that result against the Knights.
“I think internally we knew it was a frustrating game for us, even though we won 1-0, in terms of the standards and expectations, we didn’t really meet them," he said.
"So it was a…

A final minute strike from Danielle Kannegiesser saw the Kingborough Lions sneak past Riverside Olympic 3-2 in a wildly entertaining clash at Windsor Park. The Roos came close to claiming a breakthrough victory, but the Lions dug deep and found the late winner after a Hannah Walsh brace had left the game in the balance, tied at 2-2.

Knights Win Lakoseljac Cup Classic
The Glenorchy Knights claimed the 2024 Lakoseljac Cup with a 3-2 extra-time victory over the Kingborough Lions in a drama-laden game that will go down as one of the greatest finals in the competition's history.
The Knights squandered a number of good scoring chances in the first half, with a combination of wasteful finishing and super goalkeeping from Lions' goalie and Player of the Match Masatoshi Kawano keeping the score locked at 0-0. It looked like that might come back to haunt them when the Lions sprang out of the halftime sheds and took the lead…
