South Hobart will have former player Guilherme de Souza back for
their NPL Tasmania game against Kingborough Lions United at South Hobart Oval
tomorrow [Sunday] at 2pm.
The 26-year-old Brazilian-born midfielder or defender played 13 games for South Hobart last season but has been on the Gold Coast and was in quarantine
for two weeks after arriving back in Tasmania.
Coach Ken Morton, who may not take his place on the bench
because of continuing illness, said de Souza may play for 30 minutes or so.
De Souza was a key midfielder for South Hobart, whom he
joined from Kingborough Lions United, where he played just 7 games in 2018.
Morton also said that young goalkeeper Nathan Reid, signed
this season from Clarence Zebras, will start against the Lions and replace
veteran Mark Moncur.
Youngster Joshua Divin may also get a run for South Hobart.
Morton said former A-League player Andy Brennan will not
play after suffering an injury last weekend in the 1-0 loss to Devonport City.
Kingborough Lions United coach Jes Kenth said his side will
be without star midfielder Shane Cartwright, who was injured last weekend in
the 2-0 win over Launceston City.
Kenth said James Hall was also doubtful because of injury.
Kenth said he was expecting to see Andy Brennan turn out
for South Hobart and did not believe the newcomer would not play.
He also claimed inside knowledge that Declan Foley will resume for South Hobart.

He also claimed inside knowledge that Declan Foley will resume for South Hobart.
He insisted that the Lions would go into this game as the
underdogs, despite Kingborough being ahead of South Hobart in the standings.
A win for Kingborough, who are third after today’s
[Saturday] results, will see them regain second place.

Did not take long for the South Hobart Youth to be cast aside.
Very true, Moncur must be shattered.
If you read the artical it apears south are bringing in two young players in Nathan reid and Josh Divine into there starting line up.
Big call to not play Mark in goals. He has been outstanding and was probably man of the match for South against Zebras. As for dropping all the youth 1130pm - Hallam will be back for South, playing with Divin, Larby, Laka,Herwaynan, R Morton, Sam B. All guys still in their teens.
