	Setting the pace from the start, giving Port Adelaide little chance to drop into the machine-like system which had established is as firm favorite for the 1934 title, and beating off a strong challenge in the last few minutes, Glenelg brilliantly won by nine points the League ~~grand~~ Final and the premiership, at the Adelaide Oval on Saturday.		Setting the pace from the start, giving Port Adelaide little chance to drop into the machine-like system which had established is as firm favorite for the 1934 title, and beating off a strong challenge in the last few minutes, Glenelg brilliantly won by nine points the League Grand Final and the premiership, at the Adelaide Oval on Saturday.

	It was one of the most thrilling matches in the memory of any of the 30,045 people who witnessed it. Fought at a killing pace, the players were forced to endure a more gruelling contest than they had probably ever experienced. Having set the speed, Glenelg maintained it in astonishing fashion, clapping on even greater pace when challenged by Port Adelaide, whose efforts to produce the cool, systematic football which had been a feature of its play in earlier matches, were obviously upset by the dash and verve of the opposition.

	Unprecedented scenes, both at the Adelaide Oval and in Glenelg itself, followed Glenelg's popular win in the grand final football match on Saturday. In beating Port Adelaide by nine points, the Glenelg side made football history by becoming the first club to win the premiership on the first occasion on which it had contested the finals. When the final bell rang, the crowd of thirty thousand on the Adelaide Oval stood and cheered for some minutes. But this demonstration in favor of the team which had reached the top after fourteen years in League football was small compared with that at Glenelg, where there were scenes which, residents say, could be compared only with those witnessed there during the war. Crowds thronged the streets, and thousands congregated outside the town hall. As the cars containing the players drove into ~~Moselev square~~ there was an outburst of cheering which continued for some minutes. Then followed speeches, punctuated by loud and frequent calls for various players, and a round of victory celebrations, which were continued at the clubrooms at the Glenelg oval, and lasted through out the night. Many members of other clubs were entertained.		Unprecedented scenes, both at the Adelaide Oval and in Glenelg itself, followed Glenelg's popular win in the grand final football match on Saturday.

	Realising the necessity for building up a team, from experienced players, Glenelg induced several prominent footballers from other clubs to join up with it. After this foundation was firmly laid Glenelg's rise has been mainly through fostering junior talent in the district.

	The Grand Final of [[1934]] was the first Grand Final contested by Glenelg. Although underdogs, they won a historic victory by 9 points over the more favoured Port Adelaide. The victory was even more memorable considering that Port had thoroughly thrashed Glenelg only a fortnight before in the [[Second Semi-Final 1934\|Second Semi-Final]].
