With no FFA Cup, the Lakoseljac Cup is the pinnacle of knock-out competitions this year


There are only two all-NPL cup ties tomorrow when the Round-of-16 of the Lakoseljac Cup is played.

They are between Launceston City and Devonport City at Bucky Land Rover Park in Launceston at 4.30pm, and between Kingborough Lions United and the visiting Clarence Zebras at Lightwood Park at 3pm.

There are also two all-Championship games at opposite ends of the State.

Metro host Taroona at North Chigwell at 2pm, while Hobart United travel to the North-West Coast to take on Somerset at Cardigan Street at 2pm.

And, the two Championship versus NPL clashes feature Launceston United against South Hobart at Birch Avenue at 2pm, and University against Riverside Olympic at Grove Road at 2pm.

With no FFA Cup this season, the pinnacle for all teams is the Lakoseljac Cup itself.

Wonder if Zebras will get a mention on here this week?

Zebras pre-season form was deceiving...they're much worse than we all thought.
