New Norfolk v Brighton at Boyer, 2pm Saturday
These teams both suffered pretty serious losses in the last round. This match should see both teams playing closer to full strength, determined to get a much-needed win.

New Norfolk has the home ground advantage and will be hoping that is enough to see the Eagles through for their first win this season. Michael Thompson should be back in top form and be the barometer to sting the Eagles into action to get a much needed win to reinvigorate their season.

Brighton started the season with two impressive wins and followed with two losses. This game will be an indicator to see where Brighton will sit on the ladder in the upcoming weeks. Both teams badly need the win to advance their position on the ladder.

This match will definitely be the one to watch as both teams need to redeem themselves after the massive losses of last week.

Lindisfarne v Huonville at Anzac Park, 2pm
Huonville is going to have to give it their all to stand a chance in this match. Lindisfarne is proving the team to beat this season and is yet to lose a game.

Cygnet v Dodges Ferry at Cygnet, 2pm
These teams finished the last round with impressive wins. This game will be a tough contest with both teams fighting for a win to solidify their positions on the ladder.

Sorell v Hobart at Pembroke Park, 2pm
Last season when these two teams went head to head, Hobart prevailed for the wins and that should also be enough to motivate Sorell to give it their all this week.
