Match Report

We head down to The Parade, Friday Night Football at Coopers Stadium again kicking off weekend footy proceedings as the Redlegs faced the Panthers. 

The Redlegs got off to a flyer, choking up the South Adelaide offence restricting them to a point as Norwood managed 4.4 in the first term. But the 'Legs copped the same treatment in the second quarter, kept to a mere three behinds by the Panther defence while they snatched the lead with their 5.3. The see-saw saga continued after the long break, the Redlegs regaining the lead with a 6.5 third term, the Panthers wasteful at goal with their 2.6. At three-quarter time the home side was in front by 19 points. While the Panthers didn't give up at any stage, they just couldn't wrest the lead off of the Redlegs, they ran out winners by 13 points. 

Scott Borlace is definitely in line for another state jumper, he was named best for Norwood. The Panthers named Scott McGlone as their best afield.
