NPL side Glenorchy Knights beat Southern Championship outfit Taroona 6-2 in a pre-season friendly at KGV Pak this evening.

Knights led 4-1 at half-time.

Taroona lost Queenslander Daniel Buitago through what appeared a serious leg injury in the first half.

Knights scored through Cammron Morris (6^th minute), Andres Lagos (21^st), Riley Dillon (27^th, 65^th, 67^th) Ben McTaggart (41^st og).

Taroona replied through Ollie Maxwell (23^rd) and Nick (?) (80^th).

Dillon seems to have carried his form of last season, when Knights won the NPL championship, over to this 2025 campaign by hitting a hat-trick tonight.

Jayden Hey was an interesting new face for Knights.  He played for Clarence Zebras last season.

Tyson Barrett from Olympia Warriors was another inclusion in the Knights line-up.

Top import from Queensland last season, Jack Glover, also played for Knights, who’s new coach is the highly credentialed and experienced Brian Murphy.
