The Hobart Zebra's Football Club

The Tilford Zebras were formed in 1956, then known as the Hobart Juventus soccer club, 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 and pre season cups. This has made the Tilford Zebras the most successful football club in Tasmania over the last fifty years

The Zebras Under 11 White continue their unbeaten march but despite winning 2-1 on Calvin’s ground the Zebras did not show the usual ‘spark’ and offered a low key first half of the game that they closed on 1-0 to their advantage with a goal from Fynn Smith. 

The beginning of the second half started on a much better note and soon resulted in a second goal scored by Charlie Howcroft, but their renewed vigour did not last long enough. 

Perhaps the recent injuries and the flu contracted by some of the Zebras players had an effect on the general course of the game as the Zebras did not offer an exiting performance to which we are now accustomed. 

Thanks to the performances of always-tenacious Isaack Cooper-Rozynski, the consistently strong defenders James Yearsley and Hamish Moore, and Thomas Little, who played resolutely in the midfield, the boys continue on their positive journey. Well done Calvin for finishing the game with limited damages.  

The Zebras will have now have to apply themselves to a series of physically and technically demanding games which will last until the end of the season.
