At Invermay Park, Launceston made light work of Mowbray despite the Eagles posting a competitive 8-94.

Lining up without coach Rhianne Hack, the hosts put on 21 for the first wicket through Phoebe Atkins and Cassie Blair before Isabel Partridge (24 not out) anchored the middle order.

Amy Pereira (2-9) picked up two late wickets while Mary Broadhurst (1-13) and Georgie Nicolson (1-15) were both economic from four overs.

The Lions then reached 0-95 inside 12 overs as former Riverside keeper Ianthe Boden (64 not out) posted her third score of 60-plus this season.

The physiotherapist had handy support from fellow opener Lynn Hendley (22 not out) with Monique Sawyer the only Eagle to concede less than six an over.
