That was the feeling for Southern Huskies New Zealand NBL side and their Launceston Tornadoes NBL1 counterparts at the weekend.

The Huskies hit the front for the first time since early in the final quarter to win with just 0.3 seconds left, while the Tornadoes came back from 12 points midway through the last to take it to overtime and win by five.

Northern Hawks and Cavaliers both have that winning feeling as the pair of Launceston clubs won comfortably in Hobart.

Champion cyclist Richie Porte returned to the saddle for the first time in six weeks to land a top-five finish in California.

Meanwhile the uncertainty over the current nine-team, 27-round NPL competition continues as Football Australia admits there are no set plans for next season.
