The top-of-the-table clash was a finals precursor and chance for two of the flag contenders to test each other for the first time this season and it was the Magpies who gained a confidence-boosting 19.13 (127) to 8.5 (53) victory.

Glenorchy was in control from the outset with nine shots on goal to two in the first quarter and were never threatened finishing off with a seven-goal to three final quarter for a comprehensive win.

Daniel Muir kicked five goals and Jay Bowden four for the Magpies with Ben Reynolds their best player.

The Dockers were left with plenty of work to do before their finals campaign with Harry Walters kicking three goals as their best player.

Glenorchy will now enjoy a week off in the first week of finals courtesy of their minor premiership win, with Burnie preparing to meet North Launceston possibly in a home final at West Park.

CLARENCE finished their season on a winning note after trailing for three quarters in their game against the Tigers at Bellerive Oval.

The Roos booted eight goals to two in a final quarter comeback to run out winners 16.13 (109) to 11.10 (76).

Mitch Williamson kicked four goals for Clarence and Jake Cox and Michael Blackburn three each with Cox their best player.

Dan Golding kicked four goals for the Tigers to be one of their best players with Kieran Lovell another standout.

LAUDERDALE ended Hobart City's season on Friday night with a 15.7 (97) to 6.8 (44) victory at North Hobart Oval.

Michael Cassidy kicked three goals for the Southern Bombers with Adam Duggan their best player.

Lauderdale will now meet Devonport in an elimination final next week at either Bellerive Oval or North Hobart Oval.
