Wing scored a first-half hat-trick - including one direct from a corner - before the prolific Connolly matched the feat after the break with three tidy strikes from distance.

Olympic's co-coach Sabrina Hopewell was delighted with the result.

"Meg's always top quality and can score from anywhere and Amelia is fantastic with her set plays and it was great to see her curl one in from a corner which she does every week at training.

"We had a few walking wounded out there today so I'm really happy with their effort."

Launceston United's unexpected week off from the Women's Super League allowed them to drop a couple of players into their Northern Championship side's derby at Launceston City including Karla Jones against her old team.

"We took it to them and it was a good team effort considering the weather and the players that were involved," he said.

"There was a bit of a reaction when we knew we were up against a couple of State League players but in truth there's probably five of our players that could play at that level."
