Sunday would see far better attendances than Saturday with clearer skies with just a bit of wind going about. Next up is the match at Gliderol Stadium between Glenelg and Port. In the last encounter between these sides, the Tigers took their winning streak to eight with a six-point win in Round 16 last year. Although, that streak was interrupted by a draw in 2007.
The Tigers' inaccuracy early on in the match would prevent them from breaking the game apart quickly, kicking 2.5 to 2.0 to lead by five points at quarter-time. But they were far more skilled in goal in the second, setting the deficit at 23 points at half-time after scoring 5.2 to Port's 2.2. As of late, the Magpies have been showing far more spirit than which we've seen earlier this season and in the third quarter, showed what was to come even though the gap would stretch out to 28 points. They kicked 4.1 to Glenelg's five goals. The 'Pies would put a major scare into the Tiger camp in the final term, but the inaccuracy bug hit the visitors hard here as they kicked 3.8 to 1.1. That wouldn't be enough as the Tigers took a nine-point win.
Ty Allen would be named best for Glenelg, while the Magpies named Steve Summerton as their best.
