'It's pretty special': How Transplant Games helps Ken honour his saviours (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As someone who has stared his own mortality square in the face, transplant recipient Ken Fletcher knows better than most life is short. It's why the 71-year-old feels it's his duty to use his life-saving gift to stay as active as possible. The retired police officer is certainly doing just that at this week's Australian Transplant Games in his home town Launceston, where he'll compete in swimming, lawn bowls, tenpin bowling, golf and darts. Fletcher thought his days were numbered, before a donor
How young gun turned injury, selection heartbreak into national camp joy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For Chloe Neate, it was a case of disappointment turning to delight. The gun basketballer had worked feverishly to return from stress fractures before dominating the national championships, only to be initially overlooked for the under-15 development camp in Canberra this week. But an email early this week confirmed the point guard as a late call-up for the two-day camp alongside fellow Launceston gun Bronte Krapf, and Hobart's Eliza Boucher. It's justifiable recognition for Neate, whose sister
From local footy to the MCG: Why sprint cameo could be just the AFL entree (opens the original)
Read excerpt
His immediate goal is to be competitive in Saturday's grand final sprint, but Brandon Leary has a "huge decision" to make on how he can finally make the AFL start line.

The 'special' family ties driving this club's history-making grand final day (opens the original)

Coaches have to make hard decisions. For South Launceston women's coach Brett Gillow, leaving one of his daughters out of the first two finals games was the toughest. But telling Grace she will be playing in Saturday's grand final alongside younger sister Georgia was a more pleasant conversation. The Gillows are part of 11 sibling pairings playing on grand final day for the Dogs, who have four teams represented for the first time in club history. "It (not picking Grace) absolutely was difficult,
Why heavyweights are backing Devils delight to supercharge flag dream (opens the original)
Read excerpt
He's been the main bull in the paddock for years, but Launceston skipper Brodie Palfreyman believes the club's returning Devils can provide the spark they've craved in Saturday's grand final. Hot flag favourites before a ball was kicked, Palfreyman is confident they have learnt from some late season hiccups before the Premier League decider against South Launceston. The Blues lost in the last round to Longford, and the first week of finals to the Bulldogs, before last weekend's 40-point prelimin
