Big win on Ground 9 on 23 May

This week, West Hobart Tigers defeated Albuera Steet, 5-nil. Goal scorers in an exciting match were Alice Cox (two), AJ (two) with one to Amelia.

West Hobart played strongly in today's match, played in beautiful weather at the Domain crossroads ground. We used the small ground to its best advantage, taking many goal shots from mid-field.

Forwards Millie and Nadia took repeated shots at goal before an explosive kick from Alice Cox's boot brought up the team's first score.

In the second half, Anna Schurink-Moeller peppered Albuera Street's goal-square and was unlucky not to score. AJ was rewarded with two goals after consistently out-foxing her opponents.

Bijou worked tirelessly in defence, repulsing the Albuera Street fowards and feeding the ball into attack. A great effort, everyone.

This game was the last in the Term 1 roster. Next term's roster should be available in the week commencing 15 June; we'll put a link to it on this site.

2 wet 2 play 2day (Sat 16 May)

Yes! Today's game is OFF because of heavy overnight rain (with more rain forecast, with snow to boot). See you at training!

Tenacious Tigers beat Cygnet 4-1

Nice work today. Cygnet's a long drive from town but just about everyone (apart from Nadia!) arrived early and was raring to go

West Hobart piled on the pressure during the first half, however it was Cygnet that scored first, to lead 1-0 at half-time. Forwards Rhianna, Bella and Millie combined well and were unlucky not to get a ball past Cygnet's red-haired (and skilful) goalkeeper. But the second half was a different story...


We started strongly after the break, then Ari quickly scored the first of our four goals for the half. She followed this with another, for a tally of two, before an accurate tap from AJ's golden boot sneaked past the keeper.

Cygnet then kicked an own-goal, accounting for the final score. Alice Fiddyment shone in goal (apart from one fatal error) and made several strong saves. Well done!

Next week's match (16 May):
West Hobart vs St Aloysius, 11am at West Hobart oval

Go south, young ladies

This week's game (9 May) pits the Tigers against Cygnet's Sea Dragonettes, a formidable team. Kick-off is at 10am but please make sure you're there 30 minutes before the game. You'd better have an early breakfast.

The oval is at the local primary school in Cygnet, on the corner of Frederick and Louisa Streets: turn into Frederick Street opposite the Central Hotel (see map below, or set your GPS units).

Tigers win 4-2

West Hobart kept relentless pressure on Lenah Valley, apart from a period in the second half when they eluded our backs and kicked two goals. Millie and Bella scored our goals. Parents, babies (and several animals) cheered from the boundary, as well as suggesting useful playing tips.

This ball hit me moments afterwards....thanks Millie!

The 2009 season begins!

Welcome to the new season. Our coach this year is Cory Griffiths, who's Rhianna's dad. He's young and fit and keeps up quite well with the Under 11s at practice. So far, we've had two training sessions and are looking good.

Returning players include: Rosie, Anna, Bella, Alice Cox, Alice Fiddyment, AJ (aka Anna), Millie, Nadia, Tessa and Bijou.

Welcome to new team members: Isobel, Jemma, Ari and Amelia.

This week's game is on Saturday 2 May against the Lenah Valley Matildas. Cory wants everyone there half-an-hour before the game, at 11:30am. That's so there's time to warm up and practice (and talk).

Orange roster: Yes, we've already sorted this out and will publish the list shortly. Alice Cox's mum Sally is bringing the fruit this week.
