LAUNCESTON United lost to Burnie United in the only game in Northern Premier League yesterday.

Wet weather forced the postponement of two games: Somerset versus Devonport City at Cardigan Street and Launceston City versus Ulverstone at Mitsubishi Park.

At Birch Avenue, Launceston United took the lead against Burnie midway through the first half after Dan Wagner's miss-hit cross beat the keeper at the front post.

However, Burnie replied through a goalkeeper error, which allowed the player to round the keeper, to make it 1-1 at the break.

Both sides created several chances in the second half but it was Burnie that found the winner, a shot from the edge of the area beating the keeper at the front post.
