Goals from Elodie Gray, Adilat Otto and Jess Robinson earned victory for the women against LAUNCESTON CITY who hit back through captain Kiara Walsh's long-range free-kick.

"We played some really good stuff," said United coach Cameron Heazlewood. "I was really impressed."

Margaret White scored a lovely header to put RIVERSIDE ahead before Burnie United hit back to claim a 1-1 draw at Windsor Park.

A Febey Pearce double wasn't enough to save NORTHERN RANGERS as they went down 8-2 to second-placed Devonport at the NTCA Ground.

In the men's competition, Will Rodman, Sam Lowe and Christian Byard scored the goals that kept LAUNCESTON UNITED top.

Daniel Smith replied with an excellent free-kick for LAUNCESTON CITY.

Fresh from receiving a vote of confidence from the board at Birch Avenue, coach Glenn Reading admitted it wasn't pretty.

"I won't be drawing any pictures because if I did, we wouldn't sell any," he said.

Burnie came from two goals down to win 3-2 and inflict a third straight loss on RIVERSIDE.

The hosts were cruising when Rhys Kinslow scored the first and set up the second for Will Coert.

But a diving header from Drew Sykes was a candidate for own goal of the season and after Monty Roberts equalised Tyler Johnstone smashed in a screamer.

"I thought we played well but a couple of lapses cost us and then they scored a worldy to win it," said Olympic coach Wayne Penfold.

Hayden Vandervelde continued his scoring streak but couldn't save NORTHERN RANGERS from a 2-1 home loss to Devonport.
