A special moment in a young career
- Angaston's Henry Dow - in his fifth A grade game - kicking his first goal... which proved to be the match winner from 50 metres out in a low scoring affair against the Bulldogs at Barossa Park in wet and sloppy conditions.
It was the fourth and last goal for the game, with the Panthers winning 3-goals to one.
