THIS WEEK’S COVER

We are entering the home straight in the
2010 Wrest Point State League roster
and 3 Clubs are now resigned to missing
the finals series.
The games to watch this week include:
Burnie Dockers who can stay in the race
with a win against the in-form Lauderdale;
Clarence keen to get back on the winners
list against North Hobart, and the match
of the round between Launceston and
Devonport to determine if the Blues will be
challenged for second spot on the ladder.
The RECORD’s reading highlights are the
View from Here and a detailed account
of Clarence’s Talent Identification
program in Grassroots. As well, the
Our Great Game article considers the
history of Tasmania’s oldest football club:
Launceston.
The once mighty Blues are enjoying their
most productive decade for seventy years
and are a genuine chance for honours
in this year’s premiership contest. Their
victory against Clarence has breathed
new life into the competition and has
seen them firm as the Roos most likely
challenger in September.
Have a great winter weekend at the footy.
