SA Footy

North Adelaide and South Adelaide will face off in next week's elimination final. Only one of these teams will have the chance at winning the final Under 17 premiership in the SANFL (unless they revert back to U/17 later down the track).

North and South will match up against each other next saturday prior to the U/19 match at Glenelg between Glenelg and Port Magpies, most likely a 10:00am start.

The winner will play the loser of Port/Glenelg in the first semi final, with that winner to progress to the prelim final.

The loser is knocked out.

Carn south, hope to make it to this game

They don't have finals at Noarlunga or Elizabeth, they usually use other grounds, plus you can't play finals at your home ground as it gives an advantage to the team that usually plays there.

Playing the Port v Glenelg 1992 U/19 Preliminary Final at the Bay was an advantage given that we won by less than 2 goals (we kicked a goal with less than 30 secs to go).

Given the ruckus the Eagles kicked up on Saturday one would think that SANFL wouldn't alocate anymore games there again this year certainly not a junior final - how quickly they forget how shite Thebarton used to be when West Torrens used to play and train there

We were thinking about the players welfare of both clubs, even the umpires were concerned.

North by 49 points

You would think North would be home from there, 10 goals up at 3/4 time...

It was a pretty obvious and pointless statement wasn't it locky

Final Score
North 20.19 (139)
South 9.9 (63)

Johnston bog imo, took at least five contest marks to compliment the 15-odd other uncontested he took.
