The first-ever Northern TSLW derby will take place at Windsor Park on Sunday with premiership favourite Launceston and league newcomer North Launceston set to face off in pink round.
Just a few hundred metres nearer the Tamar, newly-promoted NPL Tasmania outfit Riverside Olympic will host Launceston City on Saturday in the pair's second clash of the season, with Lino Sciulli's men desperate to avenge a shock loss in March.
The same evening will see State League netball heavyweights Northern Hawks and Cavaliers vie for premiership favouritism in a 6.40pm clash at the Silverdome, with Dan Roden's Cavs in possession of bragging rights following a come-from-behind, one-goal win four weeks ago.
