North Launceston will either become the reincarnated State League’s most successful club or Lauderdale will lift the premiership cup for the first time.
Ruckman Alex Lee is the only inclusion into the Northern Bombers line-up that tore Lauderdale to shreds in the second semi-final, with youngster Tyran Mansell making way.
Meanwhile, Lauderdale ruckman Toutai Havea and Jordon Roberts, the only Southern Bombers player to have played in a senior grand final, have been selected to return from suspension and injury respectively.
Darren Winter has left out Campbell Hooker and Sam Adams for a match that is expected to be played out in wet conditions.
