The oldest game in the league does deserve 1500 (I dare to dream).
Who can forget those opening games in 1878 between the 2 clubs
They met twice during the season, with NW winning once[ 1-0], the other game was a draw[0-0]
The first game drew a crowd of about 1,000 played at Adelaide oval
The next game also drew a crowd of about 1,000 at the South Parklands
That 1-0 win by Norwood was thieir first game in the SANFL
The goal scorer was the brilliant Australian cricketing allrounder George Giffen
From memory he kicked that goal without boots on
The season finished with Norwood winning the flag in their first season in the comp.
Im tipping South to win the 2023 encounter on Monday as payback
