North Launceston hit the scoreboard in the first minute of the game through Jack Rushton but have peppered the goals since, while Launceston kicked three in the second term, including two in the opening two minutes, to hit the front.
A major scuffle broke out at the end of the first when Bombers defender Arion Richter-Salter sent Fletcher Seymour to the ground, with umpires unable to restore order for several minutes.
The feeling continued in the second term with both sides giving away a number of undisciplined free kicks before the rivals again exchanged pleasantries on the half-time siren.
Tim Jones and Jay Blackberry have been among the Blues' best while Sherrin Egger and Jack Avent have been prolific for the Bombers.
