The Round-of-16 of the
Lakoseljac Cup will be played over Easter, with two games scheduled for Good
Friday.
Kingborough Lions United host
Devonport City at Lightwood Park at 4pm, while Olympia Warriors welcome
Glenorchy Knights to Warrior Park at 7pm.
The Lions and Devonport met
in the league only last weekend, with Devonport triumphing 6-0 at home at
Valley Road.
It won’t be much different in
the cup clash tomorrow and Devonport should progress to the quarterfinals.
The Warriors and the Knights
last met in the league on 13 March, with the Warriors winning 3-1.
A cup tie could be a bit
closer, as past history has shown, but home-ground advantage may well favour
the Warriors.
NPL side Riverside Olympic
welcome Southern Championship outfit Nelson Eastern Suburbs to Windsor Park at
2.30pm on Saturday and the Northerners should win against a second-tier outfit
that is not exactly setting their league on fire.
Hobart United, another
Southern Championship side, entertain NPL giants South Hobart at Gunn Oval at
Pontville at 2pm on Saturday.
South Hobart have pedigree in
this competition in the past decade and they should brush aside United’s
challenge.
Somerset Sharks face a
difficult showdown with Beachside at Cardigan Street at 2.30pm on Saturday.
This game may well go to extra-time
and penalties as both sides are strong contenders for the respective league
titles.
Taroona and Metro recently
drew 2-2 in the league and they clash in the cup at Kelvedon Park at 2pm on
Saturday.
Taroona’s home-ground
advantage may just see them squeeze through to the quarterfinals.
Launceston City will need to
be at their best to topple visitors University at 2.30pm on Saturday at Buckby
Land Rover Park in Launceston.
City will be buoyed after
their 6-0 win over Clarence United in the league last Saturday, but this will
be a tougher challenge.
University are an
accomplished team in the Southern Championship and will be motivated to eliminate
an NPL side from the competition.
Hobart Zebras are already
through to the quarterfinals, having beaten Clarence United 6-0 on 9 April.
I expect the winners this
weekend to be Devonport City, Olympia Warriors, Riverside Olympic, South
Hobart, Somerset Sharks, Taroona and Launceston City.

Jordan scott got 5th yellow last week shouldnt he miss tonight or anzac day?
Sorry but the answer is no. Accumulated yellows are served in the comp you are playing. So he misses Anzac day not the laka. If it was a red then he would have been ineligible tonight
