Match Report

More Friday night mayhem as the Redlegs hosted the Tigers at Coopers Stadium. This was the hot ticket in town that night as over 8,000 people had the bean counters ticking over. In the last encounter between these sides, the Redlegs was just part one of the Tigers exit from finals football in 2010 as they went down by 44 points in the Qualifying final... vengeance would have been firmly on their minds.

Things started pretty even, the Tigers up by just a point at quarter-time after kicking 3.2 to 3.1. They would go on to extend that gap to seven points by the half-time break after adding a further 3.3 to 2.3 in the second term. The inaccuracy bug arrived at the Tigers camp for the second half, but the Redlegs weren't getting any closer as the visitors added 1.5 to 1.1 in the third quarter. The goals came easier in the final stanza, the Tigers continued to spray their shots wide but it hardly mattered in the end. Glenelg kicked 3.6 to Norwood's 2.2 to take a 21-point win, their ninth win from the last 11 games.

Jordan McMahon was named best for the Tigers, while the Redlegs named Bryce Campbell as their best afield.
