South Adelaide Football Club
Encyclopedia
South Adelaide Football Club competes in the South Australian National Football League
(SANFL). Known as the Panthers, their home ground is Hickinbotham Oval (formerly Noarlunga Oval), located in Noarlunga Downs
in the southern suburbs of Adelaide
.
The Club last won the SANFL Premiership in 1964. Souths had finished 8th and last in 1963 but had recruited West Adelaide's 1961 premiership playing-coach (and 1962 premiership runner up) Neil Kerley
to coach the team. Under Kerl's leadership the Panthers went from bottom to top in one season to win their (so far) last premiership in 1964, defeating Port Adelaide
in front of the Panthers record crowd of 56,353 at the Adelaide Oval.
South Adelaide last played in a Grand Final in 1979. Again facing Port Adelaide, this time on a wet day at Football Park, the Magpies reversed the 1964 result defeating the Panthers 9.9 (63) to 3.14 (32), the Panthers inaccuracy in the wet conditions costing them the chance of getting closer to the Magpies on the day.
South Adelaide's clubrooms were based at Panther Park at St Marys until 1995 when the club moved further into the Southern Suburbs of Adelaide to the new ground Hickinbotham Oval. Prior to 1995, with the exception of 1904 when they played at the now defunct Jubilee Oval, the Panthers have played all their home games at the Adelaide Oval
(ironically located on the northern side of the Adelaide city centre
) while in 1993 they played a game at the Bice Oval in the southern suburb of Christies Beach
to gauge support in the area for the Panthers. The oval, located only 1km from where Hickinbotham Oval now sits, was packed to capacity with approximately 8,000 crammed in to see Souths take on Glenelg
. It was following this game the Panthers made the decision to move permanently to Noarlunga.
South Adelaide christened their new home at Noarlunga in Round 8 of the 1995 SANFL season. The opening game at Noarlunga also saw the ground record crowd of 10,123 when Glenelg defeated the Panthers by 47 points. Originally called Noarlunga Oval, the name was officially changed to Hickinbotham Oval in 2005 to honour former Panther and successful property developer, the late Alan Hickinbotham
