TIGERS SHOOT THE EAGLES DOWN

GLENELG has at last fired a flare over its premiership campaign, storming to a 39-point win against Woodville-West Torrens at the Bay.

A week after their abysmal 67-point loss to Norwood, the Tigers responded with the most important of their four victories this season, clamping a second-quarter Eagles assault and responding with their own match-shattering blast in the third.

It took just five minutes for Glenelg to turn a gripping, blow-for-blow clash into a no-contest.

Leading the top side by a point midway through the third quarter, the Tigers unleashed four successive goals through Byron Murphy, Kane Tenace, Daniel Kirk and Danny Meyer to spring 26 points clear.

The one-way barrage contrasted the previous 70 minutes, in which the biggest margin was eight points and only once did any team manage back-to-back goals.

"We're really relieved, it was a far more competitive performance than we served up last weekend," coach Mark Mickan said.

"The players were really determined, no matter what the result, to put in a strong four-quarter competitive effort and that's what we got -- and we got the result as well."

Eagles coach Michael Godden was disappointed with his side's performance.

"We really didn't take our opportunities in the second quarter," Godden said.

"Their intensity was higher than ours, they were two to the contest when we had one and we went away from the way footy games are won and lost."
