This was South Hobart’s last hit-out before
they take on Marconi Stallions on Wednesday in the FFA Cup Round-of-32 at Blundstone
Arena.
Coach Ken Morton was due to travel to Sydney on
Sunday on a scouting mission to watch Marconi play Sydney Olympic.
Adam Gorrie was left on the bench, but did
come on later. He misses the Marconi
game through suspension.
Kieran Brown, who was on the bench, will soon
take up a football scholarship in the U.S.A. and so Graeme Wright is now the
preferred goalkeeper for South Hobart.
Siyar Kurdistan, who coaches South Hobart’s
Challenge League side, was also on the bench and made an appearance.
Kasper Hallam was kept on the bench, probably
in readiness for Wednesday night.

Kobe Kemp was in the South Hobart line-up
after returning from a sting in Victoria and he weighed in with two goals.
It took South almost 20 minutes to hit the front. Nick Morton cut in from the left and planted
his shot past the diving Lachlan Clark and inside the far right-hand post.
Launceston City had their hands full defending
and rarely got a sight of goal at the other end. A shot by MacKenzie Hancox and saved by
Wright near the end of the first half was their only attempt on goal.
Clark earned his keep with some skilful
saves. He was beaten on another occasion
by Sam Berezansky, but the effort was ruled out because of off-side.

Two goals in 2 minutes just past the hour
mark by Kemp and Alex Walter killed off any faint chance that City may have had
of getting back into this game.
In the 61st minute, Kemp hammered
home Ben Hamlett’s pass, while in the 62nd minute, Alex Walter raced
in from the right and placed a low drive inside the far left-hand post to make
it 3-0.
To add to City’s misery, Clark was concussed
when he went down at Hamlett’s feet. Although
he continued for several minutes after treatment, he had to go off in the 65th
minute, and with no substitute keeper on the bench, Aaron Mattarozzi took over
in goal. Nicholas Thorne came on as an
outfield player.

Mattarozzi had only been in goal for 6
minutes when he was picking the ball out of the net, Kemp having drilled home a
shot after a short-corner.
City, however, had a sting in the tail. In the 76th minute, Scott Murray
won the ball and sent Noah Mies away in the inside-right channel and he
finished beautifully past Wright to net a consolation goal for the visitors.
Clark looked dazed after the match and he is
likely to be missing for a few weeks at least following his concussion.

South look much weaker without Isky.
Marconi will spank them if they play like they did
on Saturday. Very ordinary.
Correct me if I'm wrong here Walter or readers, but I thought that any player signing or transferring from another club had to do so by the end of may.
Now unless this Kemp character hasn't been playing this season thus far or he completed his transfer before the end of may, then my comments and post would have been a waste of time lol.
If he was guilty of either of those situations, then it might be worth for Launceston city to lodge an appeal or enquiry.
1.30 pm.
Local transfers close off in May. You may
sign players from elsewhere anytime I believe.
Now, Anonymous 1.30am, I hope they don't make the same mistake against Marconi. It's bad enough that they have flaunted the rules in the NPL, but to do it on the national stage would seriously bring the game into disrepute.
Are there any fines or penalties for bringing the game into disrepute?
Transfer I don't think is the issue it's more can he play for south wed night after playing for Caroline Springs in Victoria qualifiers
nothing on port rolling warriors walter? your bias is getting away from you now, i'm sure it would have been front and centre if scored the other way around
seem pretty clear.
5 Registration of Players and Age Criteria
The National Registration Regulations govern the registration of all players, and subsequent clauses
are in addition to the National Registration Regulations.
A player registration and registration fee must be received by FFT before midday on Thursday in order
for the player to be eligible to play in the next round’s matches.
The transfer deadline for all other currently registered players is the last Thursday prior to 31 May. A
new player (i.e. not previously registered in the current year) may not be registered after the second
Thursday in July.
If any Club shall play an unregistered player or a player registered by another Club in any match it shall
be deemed to have lost that match by a score of three (3) goals to nil (0) plus any further penalty
imposed by the Company in accordance with these Rules. If the result is a loss exceeding 3-0 then that
score will remain in place.
I think South might have some explaining to do
They have not broken or flaunted any rules...you are speaking out of your...
Anonymous 1.43pm. I think your bias is showing.
I am bias. but then again don't pretend not to be. just a port fan wanting to read your take on them rolling oly
Anonymous 8.48am, It's a bit hard for me to give you my take on Devonport's game because I didn't see it. I wasn't there. All I could do was record the result and scorers in the Saturday results story.
