The Tigers beat Peel Thunder 15.12 (102) to 11.8 (74) in its second win for the season.
The club moved from Claremont Oval to the showground this season to make way for a $16.5 million redevelopment that will include new clubrooms, commercial space and car parking.

Claremont chief executive Todd Shimmon said 1400 people turned out for the first game at the new ground and despite some teething problems, it was a successful day.
