South Hobart will host Olympia
Warriors at South Hobart Oval, while University will welcome holders Devonport
City to Olinda Grove in this year’s semi-finals of the Lakoselajc Cup.
The draw for the semi-finals was made
today at KGV Park by Football Tasmania CEO Matt Bulkeley, assisted by Mrs
Neridene Lakoseljac.
University are the only non-NPL side
in the semi-finals and are up against holders Devonport City, one of whose main
weapons is super-sub Miles Barnard, a former University player.
University are having a good season
and they are not to be trifled with at Olinda Grove, where Olympia almost came
unstuck in a cup encounter a few seasons back.
South Hobart drew 3-3 with Olympia in
the league a couple of weekends ago and the cup semi-final between the two
sides should be just as thrilling a contest and may well go to extra-time.

Meanwhile, former Kingborough Lions
United and Hobart Zebras coach Gabriel Markaj has been shown the door at
Victorian women’s club Galaxy United FC.
He was in his first season as coach
at Galaxy United FC.
And, Kingborough Lions United’s
academy coach Ben Horgan has also left the club following the departure of head
coach Greg Calvert.

New Town Eagles president Grant Nutting leaves tomorrow to attend Saturday's FA Cup Final at Wembley between Manchester City and Watford.
Nutting has been a Watford supporter ever since his mother bought him a Watford Shirt when he was child.
Enjoy the game, Grant, but Watford seem unlikely to win against the rampant Light Blues or Noisy Neighbours.
But, we have seen some real miracles in football this week, so anything is possible.

What a cracker south v warriors no prawn sandwiches in this one
Feel 4 Borough academy players they said three year plan both walk could have waited till got replacements.cant see any club hiring these in future
Not just Barnard, but there's quite a history of ex-Devonport players/juniors who play for Uni when they come down for study- a tradition that is still strong today, although as a former Vic Tuting winner and club chairman there's definitely a soft spot there, and there's a bit of a spiritual connection at the clubs(the kit colours too).
That said there should be an interesting match up of first place in each league, will be a tough game for Uni but should be a well played an hard fought game, a true cup tie.
The reason Gabriel Markaj was fired Because "his attitude towards the women's game did not align with club values"
Very very disappointing
Where do Horgan and Calvert go? Surely not many paid roles left in Tas
Kingborough kept that quiet about Ben Horgan.
Why is that? If he left at the same time as their coach why wasn’t
it announced at the same time ?
Appears weird and lacks transparency from the clubs perspective.
However that must be the norm based on how the club handled
the coaching situation at the start of the year.
Disgusting .
Same old same old same old.
Kingborough board seem to be the biggest thing holding that club back. Hiring Calvert back and then letting him go again is the definition of insanity (making the same mistakes but expecting a different result) but to see Ben Horgan go shows utter contempt for pretty much their entire program.
No quality player or coach for that matter will want to go anywhere near them, May as well give Gab a call and see if he's interested.
It is hard for a Board to operate if a head coach and TD give commitments then walk because it gets all to hard. This is not the Kingborough Boards fault.
They both walked leaving everyone in limbo ar short notice
Anon 12.22.
Of course the board will say it’s not the boards fault.
If the board make the appointment then fault lies with the board
just as all the credit would go to the board if the appointments
were a success.
Markaj back to Borough? haha
Kingborough could do a lot worse than Markaj
Anon 10.52 am.
Yes Boro could do worse and they most likely will.
