Port Adelaide burst out of the blocks to defeat Adelaide by 33 points in the 2023 U15 NGA Acadamies match at Alberton Oval.

Featuring the best U 15 talent from SANFLW clubs, the match was keenly contested by both sides as the hosts established a 33-point lead at the main change.

But then the Crows fought back into the contest by booting the only three goals of the third quarter to trim the margin to 13 points at three quarter-time.

The Power steadied in the final term to boot the final two goals of the game and claim victory amid the cool conditions.

Entering its sixth season, the Next Generation Academy program fosters the best U15 talent from SANFLW clubs with Central District, Glenelg, North Adelaide and Sturt players aligned to the Crows and Norwood, South Adelaide, West Adelaide and Woodville-West Torrens players aligned to the Power.
