The Kingborough Lions have continued their winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Launceston City at Buckby Land Rover Park.
City defended very well, holding the line keeping Lions at bay. City keeper Lachie Clark was called to action, making some great saves denying Ben Hamlett and Keenan Douce early.
Kobe Kemp was shoved off the ball in the penalty box but the referee waved play on and on we went.
Andrew Taylor finally got the breakthrough goal in the 75th minute after Keenan Douce's free-kick delivery found him for a headed finish at the near post, which sent the Lions in a frenzy of madness.
Kobe Kemp was the next to pick up a scalp, with a scramble in the box ending in a diving save from Clark. He couldn't clamp down on the ball, though, and the rebound fell to the feet of Kemp for an easy finish.
Jarrod Linger looked dangerous going forward but was denied at the far post in a double save by Sheku Kamara. City continued the pressure and had a penalty appeal waved away much to the disgust of the Launceston faithful.
Lions with three points will now turn their focus to a mouth-watering clash with the firing Glenorchy Knights next Saturday night, while City will look towards a trip to Darcy Street for an away day at South Hobart.
