Kingborough Lions coach Jon Fenech believes it is time for Tasmania to join the A-League.
The Lions hosted A-League powerhouse Melbourne Victory in the Hahn Australia Cup in Kingston on Sunday night, putting the Lakoseljac Cup winners on the national stage.
Despite going down 4-0 Fenech said the scoreline isn’t a true representation of how close the match was.
“Well why not Tasmania? The way we played tonight, the atmosphere, the crowd, you know, why shouldn’t we be in the A-League,” Fenech said.
“That was a goal of mine when I was appointed as coach, I wanted to get this team to win a trophy and we have done that, now I believe we can take it to the next level.
“The crowd was amazing tonight, we put Hobart and Tasmania on full display and showed that we are capable of getting behind a team in the A-League.
