While the WBBL has captured Launceston's attention of late, the South Launceston Cricket Club have been more involved than most.

The Knights had three of their players - Courtney Webb, Ava Curtis and Meg Radford - featured in WBBL squads, the latter two for the first time, a result which pleased club president Jeremy Jackson.
"To have three Knights feature in the same WBBL series is a great endorsement for our club and our women's program in particular," Jackson said.
"Our women's program's leaders like Belinda Wegman, Naomie O'Loughlin and Caitlyn Webster, among others, have worked very hard for a number of years to provide a top-notch environment for our girls to play and get the most out of their cricket."
Jackson said that having Webb secure her Renegades spot, playing 43 games over the past four seasons, showed the pathway was there and proved beneficial for Curtis and Radford.
While South Launceston took care of Webb's early development, someone who has seen the 21-year-old grow over the past few seasons is Renegades skipper Sophie Molineux.
Webb starred with the bat and was named Renegade of WBBL06 last season and has also shown her talents with the ball throughout WBBL07 - getting on a hat-trick against Sydney Thunder on Wednesday.
"She's been around for a few years now and I think last year was great just to see her grow in confidence and really back her ability because she can hit the ball well," Molineux said.
"She's really stepped up this year into that leadership [role] and she's sort of made Renegades her little home and we've loved it."
A two-time Cricket North premiership winner at South Launceston, Webb played alongside Radford in both of those triumphs.
Earning a Tassie Tigers call-up last season, Radford - who turned 21 on Friday - has impressed coach Salliann Beams with her recent improvements.
"She's been working hard as an athlete and on her skills through the winter and we can see that she's progressing nicely so she deserves to be here," she said.
"If we went down, she could very easily fill a role that we think she could do so if these girls can keep being exposed to these environments, hopefully they want to improve."
Radford took out Raider of the year in their inaugural season, while Curtis was named player of the Cricket North grand final, scoring her first senior half-century with unbeaten 52, bowling four overs for 14, taking a superb catch and topping it off with a last-ball run-out.
The 15-year-old, who looks set to miss some cricket with a back injury, was a part of the Hurricanes' squad for their Hobart match-ups - an experience Beams described as "invaluable".
"She spent a week with us and I think she was 24 hours away from the squad and texting me when she could come back in so we are really excited for Ava.
"We obviously need to make sure she still remains a child and does the things and plays as many sports as possible but she's incredibly athletic, competitive and loves to win games of cricket.
"Fingers crossed in the next year or so she's going to be a regular for us."
The Hurricanes have two more match-ups in Launceston this weekend.
