Match Report

In the final match for Round 6, the Panthers met up with the Tigers in the Battle of the Cats at Hickinbotham Oval in Noarlunga, where a crowd of almost 2,700 turned out. The eight matches previously played out would see equal sharing of premiership points, among those was South's unbelieveable 13 point victory at Glenelg last year. 

The Tigers were still stinging from the caning they suffered last weekend and it was evident on the scoreboard with their first quarter inaccuracy. Scores were level at quarter-time after they kicked 3.8 to South's 4.2. Glenelg finally found their feet in the second term as they kicked ahead to an 18 point lead at half-time, after kicking 5.3 to 2.3. The Tigers must have forgotten what time it was when they came back out for the third quarter as the Panthers landed home five goals without a miss to Glenelg's 1.3 to take a three point lead at three-quarter time. But the home side couldn't keep up that effort and fell to a final quarter dash-off by the Tigers, who kicked 5.3 to four behinds to take a 26 point win. 

Adam Fisher was named best for the Tigers, while the Panthers named pocket-rocket James Boyd as their best afield.
