SOUTH AUSTRALIA has rocketed away with an 80-point win over New South Wales/Australian Capital Territory at Visy Park on Friday afternoon.

The Croweaters 18.11 (119) defeated the Rams 5.9 (39) to record their third win from four matches in this year's NAB AFL under-18 championships.

South Australia kicked nine goals to zip in the final quarter, after leading by just two points at the main break and 25 points at three quarter-time.

Key forward Matthew Panos booted a game-high five goals, including three in the final term. The 192cm tall further enhanced his potential draft ranking with a fine display of accurate kicking in front of goal.

The versatile Jack Trengove also continued his outstanding carnival – and continues to push his credentials as a top three draft selection. He finished with 23 disposals and six inside 50s.

Luke Tapscott, who booted three majors and notched up 21 touches, again impressed. His lovely kicking will only push up his credentials, therefore making him a player to watch out for come November.

The game's leading ball-winner – South Australian Hayden Jolly (24 disposals) – also impressed.

For NSW/ACT, Jason Tutt was the only player from his side to claim 20 touches. But Josh Duncan, a NSW scholarship holder with St Kilda, who had 12 disposals at half-time, before finishing with 17, was impressive early on.

Fellow NSW scholarship holder, Trent Stubbs, who is tied to Hawthorn, was his team's only multiple goalkicker with two majors. He also took a hanger over South Australian Simon Potts and then proceeded to kick a goal just before the quarter-time siren.
