Olympia coach Rob
Clarke said:
“It was really only about minutes today so I’m happy that,
number one, we didn’t get any injuries, and that we got 60 minutes into the
core group, really.
“In the first half probably, when we had seven or eight of
our possible starting eleven on, I’m pretty happy with some of the stuff.
“But, we really haven’t had the chance to work with the
first eleven as a unit. There’s work and
there are other commitments. It’s the same
for all the other teams. So, you’ve just
got to make the best of it.
“I was happy for [James] Ross. We didn’t have a keeper today so for young
Ross, at just 15, to step up, that was great.

South Hobart coach
Ken Morton said:
“It was a good run out for us. The major aim was to get 45 minutes or an
hour into the legs of the top players, the senior squad players, and then, in
these types of games, obviously to blood a few youngsters we think are in with
a chance of being in and around the squad.
“I think overall it was a good performance. A little bit untidy in the first half in
terms of possession.
“But, it’ll come and I thought it was a good workout for us.
“Ben [Hamlett] looked good.
That was probably enough for him, 45 minutes. Probably next Saturday a little bit more, and
a bit more in the next two games coming up before the break. We’ll get him close."
