RIVALRY AS FIERCE AS EVER BY PETER CORNWALL
“It doesn’t matter where they are on the premiership table, it will be a tough contest.” “There’s nothing between them.” They are expressions you often hear when Norwood and Port Adelaide square off in a contest, the old rivals always determined to win – and desperate not to lose. And that’s sort of how it worked out this year. The Williams Gallagher Cup was up for grabs again at The Parade in Round 10. Or is it the Gallagher Williams Cup? As you might possibly guess, considering the nature of these clubs’ rivalry, there’s a plaque for the Gallagher Williams Cup on one side of the trophy and for the Williams Gallagher Cup on the other!

win with two goals to one into the wind in the last quarter. “I thought it was an outstanding win,” Norwood coach Jade Rawlings said. The bonus was keeping the Gallagher Williams Cup – without actually having won it!
