Six of the players that helped South Launceston claim the flag will represent their new club Western Storm in coach Mathew Armstrong's state side at Bellerive Oval. North Launceston has also supplied three players in a 26-man squad dominated by ladder-leader Clarence.

``The coaching staff has been very impressed with the lead-up to the game and the commitment of all players throughout the program,'' Armstrong said before last night's training session at Aurora Stadium.

``We believe we have picked a final squad that will give a good account of themselves on game day with the ultimate goal of winning.''

The squad will be trimmed to 23 players today.

Former Clarence coach Brett Geappen will serve as Armstrong's game-day coach, assisted by Zane Littlejohn, Scott Stephens and Adam Henley.
