Pre-Season

Teams (Senior, under 18,s, women) trained together since mid-November. The first game of the senior team was against South Hobart.
The squad and some nice supporter went to Hobart by bus.

 

South Hobart is definitely the best team of these last years in Tassie.
After a hard and good game the team lost 3-1. Agele Luate scored for United.

The supporters :

Here is the interview of Mark by Walter Pless

I was very impressed with my boys.

“Obviously, we were under the cosh for quite a bit of the game, but you expect that against South Hobart.

“Last year, we just haemorrhaged goals, but today we restricted them to two and an own-goal and I’m pleased with that.

“This was our first hit-out for the season. Now it’s straight into the Hudson Cup. Our first game is next week.

“Mr Morton has been involved with Launceston United before and there’s a connection there, and so we’re trying to build on that and develop a good rapport.

“South Hobart have always been good to Launceston United with the Hudson Cup. They’ve always supported that, so as a gesture of friendship, I suppose, we came down here.

“We’ve brought in a few new players and the players that have been there have worked very, very hard.

“We mustn’t get ahead of ourselves. On paper it wasn’t a bad result, but South Hobart had a lot of the ball, a lot of the ball. So, I’m not getting too excited.”
