First Home Match
Sir Archibald Weigall, Governor of South Australia, started the first league football match played at Glenelg Oval by bouncing the ball, 21 May 1921. He opened the new stand on the same day. The league was then known as the South Australian Football League (SAFL), changing its name to the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) in 1927.
The teams featured are Glenelg and North Adelaide (then in the hooped guernsey).
