Glenelg wins 2025 Hostplus SANFLW Development League Grand Final

28 April 2025

Glenelg has claimed its first Hostplus SANFLW Development League premiership, with a 21-point victory over South Adelaide at Stratarama Stadium.

The Panthers were looking to secure their third SANFLW Development League flag in succession, but it was all the Bays on Sunday afternoon, with the visitors never really getting a look in.

The Tigers led at all breaks throughout the game and managed to keep South scoreless in both the second and last quarter.

A third quarter comeback seemed to be on the cards for the Panthers, as they got within seven points of the eventual premiers.

But two last-quarter goals for the Tigers sealed the deal and ended any chance of the Panthers winning three Development League premierships in a row.

Brooklyn Kraft, Madisyn Freeman, Bailey Broome, Elizabeth Johnson and Emme Day were adjudged best on ground for the premiers in their historic win.

Demi-lee Braun, captain Chloe Meyers, Charlotte Dolan, Tiana Lush and Kate Chapman earned best on ground for South, with the latter kicking two of the Panthers three goals.
