McDonald’s NPL Tasmania Round 19
Knights Score Dramatic Victory Over Lions To Reclaim Top Spot
A week after ceding top spot, the Glenorchy Knights moved back to the summit of the NPL Tasmania table, by scoring a highly dramatic 4-2 victory over the Kingborough Lions on Friday night. The Knights' title hopes appeared to be slipping when they trailed the Lions 2-1 after 75 minutes, with some wastefulness in front of goal looking like it may come back to haunt them. Then the game swung into five minutes of utter madness. An Eli Luttmer handball in the box saw the Knights given the…

Match of the Round: Devonport Strikers v Kingborough Lions
It’s the penultimate round of the NPL Tasmania season and the title race is going right down to the wire. Following last weekend’s results, a final-day showdown between Deovnport and Glenorchy Knights may well be on the cards to decide the title, but first, both sides need to take care of business this weekend. For Devonport that means doing something they’ve been unable to do this season, defeating the Kingborough Lions, who they meet in the Match of the Round.
Strikers boss Tom Ballantyne said last week’s dramatic last-gasp…

Strikers Down Lions and Set Final Day Decider
The Devonport Strikers set the stage for a dramatic final-day clash with the Glenorchy Knights, as they downed the Kingborough Lions 4-1 in their final home game of the year.

At a muddy Valley Road, the Strikers handled the conditions better than the Lions and caused chaos with their set-piece delivery…

It was a day of mixed fortunes for the Tasmanian State Teams as Ben Hamlett came off the bench and scored the game winning goal with the final kick of the game for the Men, as they edged a classy Melbourne City Youth side 2-1, but the Women's went down to the Victorians, who claimed a 5-0 win to retain the Bass Strait Cup.
The tone was set for the Men's game from the outset, as City showed their fine technical abilities and dominated possession from the early stages of the game. They played with great patience, happily turning around and passing back if nothing was on and waiting…

Match of the Round: Glenorchy Knights v Devonport Strikers
The biggest game in NPL Tasmania history is set for Saturday at KGV as the 2024 league title comes down to the final game of the season. The title has come down to the final day before in the NPL era, but never with the two sides in contention meeting head to head.
Indeed, these two sides were the central protagonists in the most recent final day title drama back in 2021, when the Strikers entered the final day on top, only to fall to the Kingborough Lions and see the title flip to the Knights. It’s the only time in the past…
