*****
In the WSL, Glenorchy Knights were a little fortunate to win, but credit to them for their clinical penalties.
Hannah Walsh put Kingborough ahead in the 31st minute with a powerful drive from just inside the box.
Knight equalised through an own-goal conceded by Teigan Hennessy 7 minutes later.
Knights’ Sarah Bolonja had a great chance to win the game before the end but she scooped her shot high over the bar when well placed.
Shortly after, Kingborough were unlucky when a free-kick came back off a post.
The Knights scored all their penalties, while Christabelle Moore hit the post for the Lions, thus ending the contest.

This is the 25th year of the Lakosejac Cup.
Football Tasmania asked me to look through my records and notebooks and see if I could find out who refereed the finals from 2000 to 2015 as they already had the referees’ names for the finals from 2016 to 2024.
This is what I came up with:
2000 Michael Sprod
2001 Paul Jones
2002 Kim Barker
2003 Owen Laing
2004 Craig Phillips
2005 Michael Sprod
2006 Kim Barker
2007 ?
2008 Kim Barker
2009 Kim Barker
2010 Kim Barker
2011 Kim Barker
2012 Kim Barker
2013 Brenton Kopra
2014 Brenton Kopra
2015 Kim Barker
If anyone can fill in the three gaps, I would be very grateful.
