Launceston United, Lions and Clarence Zebras simply not up to it

South Hobart took over at the top of the NPL Tasmania standings when they thrashed the visiting Launceston United 10-0 at South Hobart Oval yesterday.

They leapfrogged previous leaders Launceston City, who succumbed 1-0 to Devonport City at home at Prospect,

Reigning champions Glenorchy Knights confirmed their title credentials with an 8-0 drubbing of Kingborough Lions United away at Lightwood Park.

And Clarence Zebras plunged further into crisis when they went down 2-0 away to Riverside Olympic.

Launceston United reserve goalkeeper Lachlan Cook seemed overawed by the occasion and the responsibility of filling in for Daniel Nash.  He blundered badly on several occasions, making South Hobart’s task that much easier.

South Hobart, who were without defender Jacob Lancaster, scored five goals in each half.

They played with three at the back, which allowed Adam Gorrie, normally a right-back, to maraud down the flanks at will.

Bradley Lakoseljac also returned to the side after a lengthy absence through injury, scoring one goal, while Sam Berezansky played in a deep role just in front of the back-four, where he used his skill and vision to initiate attacks and even scored a goal.

Launceston United were totally outclassed and their useful performances in recent weeks counted for nothing.

South Hobart are now a point clear at the top and will prove very difficult to dislodge.

Kingborough Lions United wear black and blue stripes.  They must have felt black and blue as well after being battered by a rampant Glenorchy Knights outfit.

The game seemed destined to be goalless at half-time, but Knights then scored twice in quick succession, with only minutes of the half remaining, through Cammron Morris and Riley Dillon.

Knights really went to work in the second half, scoring six more times against a toothless Lions line-up.

The Lions are in danger of reverting to mediocrity again and being only of nuisance value in the league and have dropped out of the top-four to fifth spot..

Devonport City reverted to winning ways, but they were lucky against Launceston City, who had two penalties saved by Devonport keeper, Noah Curtis.

Referee Nathan Coad awarded Devonport’s goal as an own goal by Riley Fellows, which makes Devonport even luckier to win.

The three points lifted them up two places to fourth in the standings and halted their dangerous downward spiral.

Things got worse for Clarence Zebras as they suffered their fourth loss in a row.

They were not without fight, but still went down 2-0 away to Riverside Olympic at Windsor Park.

Gediminas Krusa and Thomas Knowles grabbed the goals in the first and second halves, respectively, to plunge the visitors deep into crisis.
