Glenelg Tigers tear Sturt Double Blues to shreds
Posted: Sun Sep 28, 2008 6:48 pm
GLENELG will take on Central District in the SANFL grand final after smashing a disappointing Sturt in the preliminary final at Adelaide Oval yesterday.
The Tigers were never headed in an emphatic warm-up for the premiership decider against the reigning champions.
It was a pathetic performance from the Double Blues, who were overwhelmed in all facets of the game to lose by 66 points.
Tigers ruckman Trevor Cranston continued his outstanding form to kick-start the action for Glenelg, with the Double Blues being belted at the stoppages.
Glenelg had winners all over the ground while Sturt's big guns, including Magarey Medallist Luke Crane and Jade Sheedy, struggled to have an impact.
The grand final will be contested at AAMI Stadium on Sunday.
Glenelg 17.17 (119) d Sturt 8.5 (53)
