LC PHOENIX are the 2012/13 Launceston and District Knockout Cup winners, after they saw of final rivals Altarnun 3-1 at Launceston last week.

Both teams asserted themselves from the off, though the expansive pitch played into the hands of Phoenix's pacey players.

It was through a set play however that they took the lead; a Nathan Cox corner found its way via the keeper to the feet of Jon Bye, who prodded the ball home.
