The Hobart Zebra’s Football ClubThe Tilford Zebras were formed in 1956, they were then known as the Hobart Juventus Soccer Club. The Club was formed by Italian immigrants who had a great passion for football. After a slow start to our history, the Southern and State Premierships started to roll in, not to mention the Statewide Cups & Pre-Season Cups. This has made the Tilford Zebras the most successful Football Club in Tasmania over the last fifty years. |

Friday night’s freezing temperatures with rain and wind would have found most kids warm inside in front of the fire or heater, but not our u/12 boys’ team. They showed great dedication and club spirit standing for close to 2 hours in the extremely cold conditions to be ball boys for our Premier League Men’s game v Olympia at KGV.
Thank you to the boys, their parents and coach Marcus Hardwick. You can read the boys’ match report for their Saturday morning game, written by Marcus, in the coaches’ corner (right-hand side of the home page).

Premier League Reserves Women Coach, Ronnie Di Felice, said:
“Senior Coach Malcolm Minty took a team of 11 players to Ulverstone. Due to the unavailability of some key players the team was restricted with a starting eleven for the game.
“Zebras started lively with a number of scoring chances, but it was Ulverstone who scored first following a free kick in front of the goals. Zebras replied to make it 1-1. Zebras scored after a good build up involving a number of players to deservedly take the lead. 2-1.
“Ulverstone counter attacked and they scored 2-2.
“Zebras again worked hard and took the lead 3-2.
“An inspired patch of play from Ulverstone saw them score two goals to take a 4-3 lead with 10 minutes of normal game time left. Inspirational play from the team levelled the game at 4-4 and Zebras could have stolen the match with a number of scoring chances in the last minute of normal time.
“As they prepared for extra time, the team vowed not to give up and every single player made a strong commitment to increase their workload and desire to win the game. With no changes possible for the extra time period, would the Zebras last the distance !
“At the end of the extra 30 minutes of play Zebras scored 4 unanswered goals to win the cup game 8-4 from a shocked Ulverstone outfit.
“Not only did we score 4 goals but we ran them off the park with a spirited team performance. What an inspiration result following a disappointing weekend for the club. Coach Malcolm Minty was full of praise for this team and a very happy man. Hayley, Maddi, Gina and Krista scored the goals to take the Zebras into a semi final clash”.
