South Hobart vs Glenorchy Knights Semi Final 2009

South Hobart will be without midfielder Gary Upton and defender James Pennicott when they face Glenorchy Knights in Saturdays State-wide Top-four series semi-finals at KGV Park at 2.30pm.
But, midfielder Daniel Brown should be fit to resume
Weve had some difficult games against Knights this year, but weve also played well against them at times, said South Hobart coach, Ken Morton
For me, its another game and one where we have to go and show our qualities.
Were well and truly aware of their strengths, but at the same time weve got to pick holes in their weaknesses.
Theyre a strong side, a forceful side, and they play the game in a good spirit and were well aware of their capabilities.
Knights will be missing central defender Anthony Grundy, who injured his back in training last Sunday.
Corey Smith will be included after he returned from suspension in the win against Devonport City.
We have an 18-man squad to choose from and Ill have to narrow that down to 15, said Knights coach, Eamonn Kelly.
Weve trained very hard for the last week or so and the dedication from the boys has been brilliant.
Zebras will be without defender Brayden Pace, who is unavailable, but the experienced Ryan Smith returns to the team.
This will be our sixth stoush with them this year and, obviously, theyre on a high after beating Northern Rangers twice in their past two games, said Zebras coach, Nick Lapolla.
Weve got to be wary of them, but not worry about them too much.
Weve got to get our game plan and our counter-attacks right and we should be okay.
Well treat them with respect because it wont be an easy game.




Clarence should be at full strength but will need to improve their finishing to be sure of victory.




They have played some delightful soccer, but must take the chances that come their way.
