Evan Lawrence found a way around the Tamar defence to post the first goal two minutes into the second quarter, with Finn Bailey adding another as they headed to the long break.

The Q’s Stuart Withington posted their third at the midpoint of the third quarter.

Tamar was creating chances in attack but Q’s keeper Derrick Heathorn was a man on a mission, stopping anything within range.

But Deavin was always lurking, and with inimitable ease of movement, found the way through the pack to claim two goals for Tamar to add some glamour to the scoreboard.

An undermanned South Launceston posted the first goal in Smithton early in the game, but were eventually outgunned by the Saints.

Suns coach Alistair McBain worked tirelessly around the centre but the Saints had too many working up front with Eddie Popowski, Richard Cornish and Jason House adding to the scoreline to give them an easy win.

The strength of the Smithton side showed through with club stalwarts Joe Coombs and Dan Cramer, who notched 300 and 200-game milestones respectively.
