Kingborough Lions United Football Club is excited to announce the appointment of Alfred Hess to the new role of Youth Technical Director at the club.

Alfred brings extensive experience in high performance football environments both as a player and a coach. He has demonstrated experience creating environments where players are able to develop, learn and enjoy the game. Alfred is currently completing a Masters of Secondary Teaching, holds a Canada Soccer C License (transitioning to AFC C Licence) and Ontario Soccer Fitness Trainer Diploma Level 1 and 2.

Roar with the Pride

Kingborough Lions United Football Club had their Annual Presentation Dinner on Saturday 13 November. After having to postpone due to the COVID lock-down, the wait was well worth it.

Crown Plaza Resorts and Hotels Hobart was a terrific venue and all our players and their guests scrubbed up really well. A great night was had by all as we celebrated on and off field achievements for 2021
Congratulations to all our Award Winners. Thank you to our organising Committee, our Board, sponsors and other supporters.
