With three wins, two draws and a loss, the Saints under coach Nigel Kingston, have enjoyed a solid start to the season.

Keegan Popowski is finding support in attack from Jason House and Richard Cornish as the Saints settle to the task of winning with a solid defence.

Tamar is playing a more attacking style as the season progresses making them not quite the easy beats of the season.

Kieron Dunning in the centre with good forward vision is more than capable of changing match results, releasing forwards Rohan John and Justin Ockerby on fast breaks.

South Launceston trek to Devonport to play the West Dragons in what should be a victory for the visitors.

Coach Al McBain covers plenty of ground keeping his forward line in solid attacking positions with plenty of talent to choose from.

Kurt Budgeon will be among the goals if given even a sniff of a chance along with big hitting fullback Brad Buchanan on the short corner barrage.

West is a work in progress for coach Fred Bessel as they search to re-establish the club in the Greater Northern competition.

Burnie Baptist hosts Launceston City in a game that could change the fortunes of either side. City could surprise depending on player availability.

Coach Jeremy Stebbings will be looking to Colin Pearson and Dominic Gill and David Fish to bolster the defence.

Baptist, third on the ladder, has a good crop of juniors working well under the tutelage of Jarrod Poke and coach Matt Selby.

This should be a close affair with the youth perhaps too good.

Queechy hosts South Burnie for a one v five match that should see the ladder leaders hold sway.

The Qs are attacking every game with pace to burn and a solid bench. Jeremy Tuson (ex-Smithton) has settled in well, adding to the already-potent forward line of Brett and Stu Withington and Evan Lawrence.

South Burnie is never easy to beat with Jarrod Bomford calling the shots from the back as part of one of the best defensive units in the comp.

Jordan Dart is the focal point of the attack supported well by Roger Ambrose and Tom Trevarthan.

City Marians and Devonport meet in Burnie.
