        Club:  Launceston  City  FC   Coach:  Kurt  Reynolds     Home  ground:  Mitsubishi  Park,  Prospect   Captain:  Nathan  Bartlett   2013  Club  Highlight:  Competing  in  the  inaugural  Victory  League   What  are  your  thoughts  on  your  first  three  fixtures?   We   anticipate   that   every   fixture   will   be   a   challenge.   However,   Rangers   at   home   in   Round  1  should  be  an  excellent  local  derby.  Kingborough  away  will  be  a  challenge,   then  we  look  forward  to  hosting  Devonport  at  home  in  Round  3,  which  will  include   marquee  player,  Danny  Allsopp.   What  are  your  hopes  for  the  season  ahead?     We   have   worked   hard   at   player   recruitment,   our   playing   system   and   playing   style,   which  we  hope  will  translate  into  a  very  competitive  LCFC  outfit  for  season  2014.  We   believe  strongly  that  the  efforts  put  in  during  the  preseason  will  result  in  some  very   positive  results.   Biggest  rival?   Everyone.   Who  are  your  key  signings?   There  are  numerous  new  signings  at  LCFC,  however,  Goalkeeper  Jordy  Van  de  Corput   (Netherlands)  and  striker  Guykyeon  Kim  (South  Korea)  complete  our  two  visa  spots   and  have  shown  excellent  ability.  Additionally,  local  talent  such  as  Tobey  Omenihu,   Mark   Christy   and   Andy   Compagne   are   welcomed   additions.   These   signings   are   complimented   by   a   number   of   retentions   from   last   year,   along   with   a   good   depth   of   youth  developing  at  the  club.   Any  major  losses  from  last  year?   Nothing  to  report.   Who  are  the  young  players  to  watch  from  your  club?   Dom  Rossi,  Isaac  Degetto,  Aaron  Mattarozzi  and  Dan  Egan  are  all  part  of  our  20  man   squad  and  are  showing  great  promise.     Unique  club  information:     Club  History   •      Founded  in  1958
