Glenorchy Knights easily accounted for swain NPL Tasmania side Clarence United 8-0 inward a pre-season friendly at KGV Park this evening.

The alert bells must sure live ringing at Clarence in addition to novel coach Warren Burt has a huge project ahead of him to brand them competitive.

Clarence had merely ane substitute in addition to used goalkeeper Matt Dyson inward the outfield, piece newly signed goalkeeper Jake French played betwixt the sticks for the entire xc minutes.

French was real busy inward the get-go one-half in addition to he conceded merely once.

That goal came inward the 26th infinitesimal from Daniel Goodluck, who swept the ball domicile after collecting a through ball within the box on the right.

The Knights could bring led yesteryear 4 goals yesteryear that time, but French produced some outstanding saves to deny the Knights attackers.

Knights were without several regular first-team players.

Jonathon Ladic signed this calendar week alongside Olympia Warriors, Mathew Nowicki was injured, in addition to Thomas Bellini, Tom Young in addition to Callum Brown were all absent.

New signing Lachie Hart, from South Hobart, was inward goal inward the get-go one-half for Knights, piece James Wilson took over inward goal for the 2nd one-half but barely touched the ball.

They bring straight off conceded ix goals in addition to scored merely ane inward 2 recent friendlies.

The irony is that Clarence replaced Glenorchy Knights 3 seasons agone inward the NPL after the Knights finished final alongside a horrific goal-difference.

Tonight, the Knights thrashed a Clarence outfit that finished final inward 2018 alongside an abysmal goal-difference but survived inward the NPL, in all probability because the contest was to live expanded to 10 teams for 2019.

Northern Rangers later withdrew, making it a 9-team contest for 2019.

Clarence tin forcefulness out catch themselves fortunate that Football Federation Tasmania didn’t later create upward one's hear that the contest would stay an 8-team league in addition to that Clarence’s results were non worthy of them retaining their place.

Such a determination would in all probability non bring been fair equally Clarence would non bring had sufficient notice.

But, after results such equally tonight’s, ane must wonder if they are worthy of a spot inward the transcend flight.
