The incredible final result fell down to new Strikers buy Tyler Fischer in just his third NPL game, incredibly nailing his side’s opening four goals.

But the visitors survived a scare when Kingborough scored twice in a hurry to threaten the 5-3 scoreline.  

The Lions had trailed 4-1 at the interval, but goals just 10 minutes apart from Debaba Izaak Mtwale and Jack Gates put the perennial battlers just a goal down with half an hour to play.

But a handball against Kingborough in the 71^st minute allowed Michael Holden to score from the spot and all but secure the Strikers’ win.

However, the damage was done earlier in the piece from a shooting masterclass. 

Fischer had lived up to his billing after club president Rod Andrews told Fairfax Media earlier this month that the American “looks set to be a dead-set superstar”.

The 24-year-old wrecked havoc against the Lions to drift forward unmarked, resulting in netting three of his four goals inside 10 minutes.

Launceston City has shot emphatically to the top of the Northern Championship table in a three-way battle.

Facing a hapless Burnie, City scored a 6-0 win to grab six points from two games.

Northern Rangers also retained a perfect record to secure a 3-1 away victory up against Launceston United.

Somerset also moved to six points, proving too strong at Riverside for 2-0 win.

While Devonport City won 5-0 over Ulverstone to notch up its first points of the year.
