The Penguin’s team building has them now nipping at the heels of the leaders, but a win for injury-plagued South Burnie will be a great confidence boost.

Devonport travel to Burnie to play City Marians. With both teams focussing on junior development, this game should be close.

Devonport’s goalie will need another great game to help Devonport gain their first win of the season but City Marians will use their fresh legs and home turf to their advantage.

Smithton Saints journey to Launceston to play Tamar Churinga. With some key players out, Smithton must put last week’s demoralising game behind them.

Smithton’s Sonia Poke said they wouldn’t take Tamar lightly and needed to make the most of scoring opportunities. Tamar’s young side will test Smithton’s defense, using their speed to infiltrate their attacking circle. 

Ladder leaders West Devonport play off against South Launceston Suns at home.

With West’s home ground advantage, a depleted Suns will rely heavily on experienced forwards. West Devonport is keen to show why they are competition leaders and the Suns can expect a hard and highly skilled match.

Launceston City has the bye.
