Congratulations to Mt Lofty Devils U17 Girls players Keira May & Phoebe Neck, who have both polled as HFL Mail Medal joint runner’s up at Wednesday nights vote count, behind Hahndorf’s Monique Bessen.
To have two footballers’ poll in the top three is a huge accolade.
Even more astonishingly, these two girls both joined the U17 Girls all year on a ‘Play Up’ Permit, having been eligible to play in our SANFL U15 Girls team. Kiera & Phoebe have been playing in the Sturt U16 team, represented SA State, and trained in the Crows Academy Squad in 2022.
Our U15 Girls will take on Hope Valley in a GRAND FINAL at Hisense Stadium (Richmond Oval) at 9am on Sunday. Get down there and show them some support as they try to win back to back premierships in 2021 and 2022!
But first get to Arkaba Oval on Saturday where Mt Lofty is hosting the HFL Preliminary Final! Our U18 Boys take on Mt Barker at 11.05am then our B Grade Men take on Uraidla at 12.40pm.
To make this Prelim Final run smoothly we need your help at the canteen, BBQ and bars. Please contact secretary@mtloftydevils.com.au to be added to a roster.
Good luck to all those playing finals footy this weekend.
To be in contention for this final for the first time, is a credit to all the hard work done behind the scenes by our committee and support network. It can be attributed to the new changerooms, drainage works and recent upgrades to the arena.
We thank you for your support of the club and look forward to seeing this day being a successful one for our community.
Scott Taylor President On behalf of the Mt Lofty Football Club
What an amazing couple of years our U15 Girls have had. After shocking the football community by beating the undefeated Henley to win the premiership last year, the girls are on track for back to back victory.
They will take on Hope Valley on Sunday at 9am at Hisense Stadium (Richmond Oval) in what is guaranteed to be a heated encounter given the very physical semi final clash between the two teams.
Coaches Michael Smart and Sam Macmillan said the premiership in 2021 was incredibly rewarding given the team’s underdog status all season.
This year Mt Lofty go into the grand final as flag favourites, a more comfortable position, but one filled with expectation.
Can the U15 Girls bring home the shield for the second year in a row?
Congratulations to our U13 Girls team who won the Toyota Good 4 Footy Raffle Teams Comp with $705 worth of ticket sales, followed by the U16 Boys with $420 worth of ticket sales and the U15 Girls with $210 worth of ticket sales.
The U13 Girls have won a $200 voucher to spend at the Aldgate Pump Hotel.
Overall, the Mt Lofty Football Club has raised $3,530 through the raffle this year, thanks to the generosity of our community. Thank you!
Raffle prize winners are announced on 9 September 2022 – fingers crossed that someone from our community wins one of the main prizes!
