Norwood 10.12 72
North Adelaide 4.8 32

Almost time for the song.. Love there 2nd verse where they have adapted it to put in a few words about their own club

It’s a grand old flag
It’s a high flying flag
It’s the emblem for me and for you
It’s the emblem of the team we love
The team of the Red and the Blue.
Every heart beats true for the Red and the Blue
As we sing this song to you What do we sing?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eye on the Red and the Blue.

Oh the team played fine in the year 29
The Redlegs that no-one could lick, lick, lick
From the crowds first yell to the final bell
The spirit of old forty six, six, six.
Every heart beats true for the Red and the Blue
As we sing this song to you
What do we sing?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eye on the Red and the Blue.

Last time WP and Norwood won in same year was 1975

Thanks for that info SwanDog

Talking to Wally Price (A WP Legend who is in our team of the Century)
Speaking about Finals re Norwood and WP being in final. Red and Blue
He told me in 1941 The Red and blue colours won all 3 GF in SA,VIC and WA

WP DEF EF
Melb def Ess
Norwood def Sturt

Shame Melbourne let us down this year and the next one will be a long way off

He also told me while talking about the controversy over Heritage game and WP not wearing a Sash which led to a change of Jumper at those games that the Club first Wore a jumper with a Sash in 1947..Here are our jumpers over the years.
A bit of Trivia for interest sake

Sturts theme song is based on the same song. They say the team of the double blues.

Thanks Winger

Just as a matter of interest I had a look at the NSW Rugby league Grand Final winner in 1941... and believe it or not it was Eastern Suburbs now Sydney Roosters.
Colours RED WHITE AND BLUE

So the colours had a good year in 1941




They are playing in the GF v Manly Now..

Eaton Boomers won the SW league flag today wearing..you guessed it red with blue sash, hopefully next year is black and white!

Yep and the Roosters won the NRL GF.. Same colors

Did notice the Eaton win on WA FOOTBALL SCORES AND NEWS on FB

Must be another good year for those colours BLOODY MELBOURNE
