Congratulations to Sam Naughton ran on Saturday for his 100th Senior match for the Devils at the Devil Dome against Lobethal.
What a wait this one has been! Sustaining multiple injuries over multiple years, some requiring season ending surgery, Sam has certainly drawn this 100 out..
After having started his footy career at the Devils at Auskick, this Devil has already given a huge contribution back to the club, having helped under Leith Dawes in Auskick and in the last couple of seasons as Assistant Coach of the U16 Boys, not to mention all the years of running water as a junior, and currently being getting around the social events.
Starting for the Devs in 2005, he then went on to play seniors in 2016, debuting in the A Grade at only 17. A highlight of Sam’s 100 being a B Grade Premiership in 2022.
Our club really would not exist without people like this bloke.
We love your work mate! Congratulations Sam, give ‘em Hell mate
Excitement is building at the Devils, with our Senior Women and U17 Girls both playing qualifying finals on Sunday against Blackwood at Blackwood. Let’s go Devs!
Our U12 Girls are also playing finals footy in the SANFL Juniors comp – for them an elimination final V Payneham at Goodwood Oval on Sunday morning. Good luck girls!
Before that, our boys take on Lobethal at home for Round 16, with the action kicking off at 8.45am. It’s also the Lofty Legends Reunion Round, so make sure you get to the Arkaba Clubhouse to join in the fun and reminiscing.
We’ve sold $1150 in tickets in the Toyota Good 4 Footy Raffle so far, which is good, but way off our $10k target.
In our Teams Comp, our 18 Boys are still leading and are looking good to win the $200 voucher to the Aldgate Pump! Our Senior Women are sitting a close second, followed by our U14s, A Grade, U10 Red, U14 Girls, U17 Girls, U16s and U12 Girls.
Our U8 teams, our U9 teams, U10 White, U11s, U12s and B Grade are yet to sell a ticket.
Everyone who buys a $5 ticket goes into the draw to win one of the fantastic prizes up for grabs including cars and money can’t buy footy experiences. Best of all, all money raised through the raffle comes straight back to the club to help deliver our new electronic scoreboard, which will be a game-changer for sport in the community.
