South Adelaide has stunned Glenelg to give new coach John Cahill a surprise first-up 14-point win at Noarlunga Oval on Sunday.
The Tigers had the advantage in the second quarter pushing ahead by 13 points but South Adelaide gained all the momentum after the main break. The Panthers managed to force their opponents into countless error during the tight contest and held off any Glenelg fightback.
Former Adelaide Crow Jason Torney lead by example in his fist game as South captain with 25 possessions and 10 marks, defender Ian Prendergast played with flair and Crows young gun was impressive in the midfield.
In a further disappointment for the Tigers, forward recruit Todd Grima was reported for allegedly striking Josh Thewlis.
Cahill is not getting carried away but the 15.7 (97) to 12.11 (83) win will bring much needed confidence to a club almost down and out by the end of 2007. However, South Adelaide must now look ahead with no greater challenge than Cahill’s return to Alberton next weekend.
