Showing improvement with wins over the past fortnight, Scottsdale coach Cabel Hall is excited to see how his side deals with Launceston.

"We're just really excited about the challenge," he said.

"I know it's probably a bit of a cliché but we are just looking forward to playing against the best and measuring ourselves against the best and hopefully we compete for large parts of the game."

The work of State League trio Kelsie Hill, Dearne Taylor and Molly Clark has impressed Launceston leader Mikayla Binns, while young gun Madi Shaw has shone through so far this season.

The league's heavyweights add the powerful Brie Rattray to their line-up for the Scottsdale clash, which Binns isn't taking lightly.

"They'll probably be one of the tougher teams in the competition to play against I think, so we are really preparing for a big hit-out with them," she said.

"We expect a nice hard game and probably cold conditions as well, so we will prepare for that the best we can."

Evandale coach Andrew Boyd will get the opportunity to show his former leader his side's skills on Saturday as the Eagles host Dwayne Beeton's Hillwood.

Beeton coached Evandale in 2019, with Boyd his deputy, and the banter has flown around the workplace leading up to the match.

"We are looking forward to it, it should be a bit of fun and hopefully we get a decent old crowd there to have a look," Boyd said.

"We've had pretty good numbers to be able to pick from for the past few weeks and we've actually have to leave a few girls out, which is a nice problem to have."

Beeton's Sharks have felt the brunt of Launceston and Scottsdale in consecutive weeks and will be hopeful of getting back on the winners' list this week.

The first match of the NTFAW's regional Meander Valley rivalry will be played this weekend as Deloraine hosts the Suns.

Coming into the clash, the pair have one win between them but Suns coach Scott Bellinger has enjoyed his side's continual improvement and is looking forward to creating a new rivalry.

"It's absolutely fantastic, great for women's football and great for the two teams involved and as a team, as a group, we are looking forward to the challenge," he said.

His side suffered several injuries last week but with strong numbers, Bellinger is eager to give new players an opportunity.

Four games in to their NTFAW journey, the Kangaroos come back from last week's bye and are yet to face any other of their fellow newcomers to the league.

Despite a big loss on the scoreboard last week, Bridgenorth coach Bobby Beams is staying buoyant ahead of his side's match-up against George Town.

The Parrots got plenty of positives out of their 81-6 defeat against Old Scotch, with several key indicators up from previous games ahead of the George Town clash.

"George Town are a good club who have been going pretty well," Beams said.

"I watched them the other week and they're up and about, there's some good players and we are really looking forward to a good community game of footy."

The Saints sit mid-table, only a draw behind the Parrots, and come in to the clash in winning form.

After forfeiting last week's match, Longford coach Michael Boyack is confident his side has the numbers to play South Launceston.

Forfeiting "at the last second" on Saturday after two players no-showed, the Tigers regain Courtney Wells, captain Alanah Boyack and Jade Nichols with coach Boyack eager to learn from the Bulldogs.

"It will be a good learning experience for our girls if it's played in good spirits. We are up-and-coming, new, so hopefully our girls learn a little bit off these experienced girls."

The 2019 premiers had last week's bye and will look to make inroads towards a top-four spot in the coming weeks.

In what is shaping to be another cracking Friday night contest, Old Launcestonians play hosts to Old Scotch.

The Blues suffered their first loss last Friday at Scottsdale and will be eager not to go back to back.

But the rampant Thistles are a big roadblock, having put 223 points on the board in the past fortnight and only conceding three goals.
