One player scored four in nine minutes. Kingborough scored seven in 34

Fresh from their historic Lakoseljac Cup triumph and Australia Cup qualification, Kingborough Lions United delivered another statement performance in NPL Tasmania.

This time, they did it in just 34 minutes.

Kingborough humiliated third-bottom South East United 9-0, racing to an astonishing 7-0 lead inside the opening half hour as they climbed to second in the standing.

At the heart of the destruction was Joel Badger.

Badger, who arrived from Canada at the start of the season, produced one of the most remarkable individual bursts of the season and all-time.

He scored four goals in the space of nine minutes as South East simply had no answer. Let that sink in - four goals in nine minutes.

Noah Mies added a brace, while Solomon Tebeje, Rowan Pitt and Tristen Galt also found the back of the net in a ruthless display.

The victory lifted Kingborough level on points with Devonport City Strikers, whose Round 11 fixture was postponed, and continues the momentum generated by the club's recent Australia Cup qualification.
