Old Launcestonians triumph over Old Scotch in NTFAW premier division

The Thistles came from two goals down at three-quarter time to beat OLs by three points in round one so the home team was desperate to make amends.

OLs managed to grind out the win across four quarters and led by a goal at quarter-time, eight points at the half and 15 points at the final change.

Playing-coach Abbey Green, who kicked two goals, led the effort and she was well-supported by captain Maddie Fry, Kate Von Stieglitz, Christina Kelly, Taylah Lehman and Anastasia Hovington.

Jessica Jamieson got the other major.
