U15 GIRLS 2022 PREMIERS!

U15 GIRLS 2022 PREMIERS!

It was a well deserved reward on the weekend for our Under 15 Girls, with a 34 point win over their closest rival, Hope Valley in their SANFL Juniors Div 3 grand final played at Richmond Oval.

The win represents a second straight premiership for Mt Lofty in the Under 15 girls comp.

This year saw more than half the team either new to the club or new to Under 15s, having come up from under 13’s. But with a great female Devils culture pumping through the club at Mt Lofty, the girls were soon playing as team.

Never scared to give to ball off to a player in a better position, or put their body on the line to shepherd for their team mates, meant that the team were outscoring teams week in week out. This team culture was clearly evident throughout the Grand Final, running over their opponents in the last quarter: 6.5.41 to 1.1.7.

In the week leading into the Grand Final, the club’s senior women team helped out by providing tough opposition in a training match. The support from the club’s senior women was wonderful to see. Maybe sometime soon they will be playing together!

CONGRATULATIONS DEVS! We are all so proud of you!

SANFL JUNIORS U15 GIRLS B&F | LILY SMART

SANFL JUNIORS U15 GIRLS B&F | LILY SMART

Congratulations to our U15 Girls captain Lily Smart who was named the SANFL Juniors Best & Fairest player for U15 Girls D3 last week.

Lily has had an outstanding season and finished on 28 votes, ahead of Elizabeth Rowe from Hope Valley on 23 votes, and Carla Brown (Tea Tree Gully) and Isabelle Dawson (Marion) in equal third on 13 votes.

Lily was also named Best On Ground in the U15 Girls Grand Final on Sunday, which Mount Lofty won over Hope Valley.

Lily is also in the Sturt U16 Girls Talent Squad. And a little birdie told us she is also a crazy good long jumper and triple jumper and represents SA at national comps.

Congratulations Lily! What a star!

HFL MAIL MEDAL RUNNER UP | RAPHIN SCHARPF

HFL MAIL MEDAL RUNNER UP | RAPHIN SCHARPF

Congratulations to Mt Lofty Devils Junior Colts player Raphin Scharpf who was named the runner up in the Mail Medal count tonight behind Uraidla’s Eli Nightingale.

Raphin is known for his athleticism, speed and competitiveness but it’s his extreme courage, consistent high-level performance and clean skills that makes him invaluable to our team and without doubt eye catching to whoever casts the votes. He’s a true Mt Lofty kid who’s progressed through the ranks and instead of being withdrawn when not kept in the Sturt squad, he increased his level and became a leader in the U16’s winning multiple BOG awards.

Congratulations Raphin! Give ‘em Hell next year 💪
