The saying 'three's a crowd' wasn't relevant to the Tigers as trio Mitchell Bennett, Jackson Blair and Lachlan Dakin all bagged three goals apiece as Daniel Bennett starred in the groundbreaking win.

The Tigers led at every change, catching the Sharks off-guard with a brilliant first quarter effort, restricting the previously unbeaten side to just two points in the opening stanza.

Jake King kicked four of his side's five goals to give his side the best opportunity at pushing Longford as Tom Bennett slotted home the other but their efforts, alongside Ashley Salter's and Mark Walsh's, were to no avail.

In a key game between two sides jostling for ladder position, SOUTH LAUNCESTON proved to be way too strong for George Town, slotting into fourth spot on the ladder with a 10.12 (72) to 2.7 (19) victory.

Boasting a 14-point lead at quarter-time, the Bulldogs were able to keep the Saints scoreless in the second quarter to reach the main break 30-points in front.

With only two goals scored in the third quarter, the Saints returned to their troublesome end with the potential to bounce back but four goals to South Launceston put the nail in the coffin.

Luke Mccarty showed his quality with four majors as Jordan Bennett and Ben Webb were strong for the 53-point victors with under-18 NTFA representative Sam Freeman and speed-demon Aaron Zanevra putting in respectable showings for George Town.

Corry Goodluck and Brady Gee had a goal-kicking showdown at BRACKNELL with the home side coming away victorious against Scottsdale in a 10.20 (80) to 11.8 (74) encounter.

Both combatants kicked five majors with Magpie Gee assisted by Joseph Robinson who kicked four and was the side's best player in the tight loss.

The Magpies held the lead at every change but the Redlegs put together with a three-goal last quarter and despite their inaccurate nature, came away with the win in a key encounter.

Clayton Mansell and Tom Broadhurst were impressive alongside Goodluck in the Redlegs' win that creates a bottleneck at the bottom end of the ladder, with four sides sitting on two wins for the season and only one victory away from the top four.

After a tight start, BRIDGENORTH showed Deloraine who's boss in a 15.14 (104) to 7.7 (49) victory at Parrot Park.

Loyal club-man Nick McElwee booted four majors in a best-on-ground performance as Jack McCulloch and Rohan Sergeant both kicked three and Oliver Wood, two, to boost the Parrots forward against the Kangaroos.

A seven-goal third term put the icing on the cake as recruit Jake Rice made an impact for the home side an extended the lead to 36 points at the last break.

Lochy Dornauf continued his raging influence for the Kangaroos as Jarrod Scott, Nathan Rataj and debutant Campbell Huett stood up for the sixth-placed side.

Bridgenorth continue to find themselves in third position on the ladder with only one defeat so far this season at the hands of Hillwood.
