STATE stars returned in a big way to the SANFL Under 18s for Round 10, with the Croweaters’ skipper and spearhead starring in respective wins. Glenelg beat Central District in a top-of-the-table clash to move a game clear in first place, while Woodville-West Torrens bridged the gap to the top four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having been kept goalless during the second and third quarters, the Redlegs could do nothing to resist Woodville-West Torrens’ onslaught in the 16.12 (108) to 3.5 (23) result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tyler Welsh<\/a> produced a breakout performance, proving unstoppable with eight goals from 10 marks. Zac Schwarz<\/strong> bagged four, while bottom-ager Jevan Phillipou<\/a> added two to a stats sheet which read 29 disposals and 14 marks. Kade Herbert<\/a> (23 disposals, 10 tackles) was also prominent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Along with the Eagles, South Adelaide was served by four state squad members in a 72-point win over North Adelaide. The Panthers compounded a handy half time lead with 10 goals to three after the main break to upset the higher-ranked Roosters, 17.14 (116) to 6.8 (44).<\/p>\n\n\n\n State captain Sid Draper<\/a> led all comers with 31 disposals, as partner-in-crime Phoenix Hargrave<\/a> helped himself to four goals and 13 marks. Fellow representative squad members Benny Barrett<\/a> (two goals) and Dakota Sterzl<\/a> (one) joined Hargrave on the score sheet in their side’s big win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With both teams undermanned, Glenelg strengthened its hold on top spot with a 55-point trouncing of Central District. The Bays booted 10 of their 16 majors at one end of X Convenience Oval, making full use of a six-goal opening quarter to run out 16.11 (107) to 8.4 (52) victors on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bottom-aged Croweaters Joshua Reichelt<\/a> and Aidan Schubert<\/a> posted 20 disposals, eight marks and a goal apiece for Central District, while Glenelg’s Kallan Bevan<\/strong> led all comers with 30 disposals and seven marks in a win which highlighted the ladder leaders’ depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sturt posted its seventh win of the season after downing the bottom-placed West Adelaide by 29 points at Thomas Farms Oval. The third-placed Double Blues notched their fourth win in a row thanks to four unanswered goals in the third quarter, en route to saluting 13.8 (86) to 8.9 (57).<\/p>\n\n\n\n While Felix Karsaros<\/strong> (28 disposals, eight rebound 50s) again racked up the numbers, Sam Waltham <\/strong>bagged three goals and Oscar Merrett<\/strong> popped up with two from 22 touches in the win. For Westies, Ayden Hodgson<\/strong> (23 disposals, 10 tackles, two goals) did a mountain of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Central District:<\/strong> North Adelaide:<\/strong> South Adelaide:<\/strong> Woodville-West Torrens:<\/strong>STATE SQUAD MEMBERS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
