RUBY OLTHOFF We are thrilled to welcome back a returning Junior Ruby Olthoff.
Ruby took a break to focus on other high level sporting commitments before returning back to her home club. Ruby didn’t miss a beat, playing in defense against a great Blackwood attack. We’re thrilled to have you home Rubes 🙌

ZOE REDIN Our under 17s have been going from strength to strength and once again another one earned her debut on the weekend. Zoe Redin has been putting in the extra trainings with the Senior group and that has translated into some fantastic footy in the 17s level. Zoe played down back and repayed the faith the coaching group had in her, doing a job on one of Blackwoods deadly talls.
Great job Zoe 👏

The stage is set, the lights are on, and another thrilling weekend of footy is about to unfold!
It all kicks off under Friday night lights, where our U12s head to Hahndorf for a 7pm showdown. There’s nothing quite like a night game atmosphere—energy buzzing, supporters loud, and our young stars ready to bring the heat. Expect fast hands, fierce tackles, and plenty of determination as they take on Hahndorf on their home turf.
Saturday presents a massive challenge for our U14 – A grade side, travelling to Balhannah to face the ladder-leading Onka Valley Bulldogs. This is the kind of clash that defines a season—top versus challenger. It’s an opportunity to dig deep, rise to the occasion, and show exactly what they’re capable of. Bring the pressure, trust the game plan, and embrace the contest.
Sunday is jam-packed with action! At Balhannah, our U17 girls take on Onkas in what promises to be a fast, competitive matchup. Following that, our Senior Women face Mt Barker in what shapes as a quality contest between two determined sides—expect skill, physicality, and plenty of heart on display.
Elsewhere, our future stars continue to shine. Both U12 girls teams head to Heathfield, building confidence, teamwork, and enjoying every minute of their footy journey. Our U14 girls hit the road to Plympton, ready to take on a new challenge and keep building their momentum.
The Super C’s round things out with a 1pm clash at Milang. Always bringing energy and passion, they’ll be looking to put together a strong performance and come home with the points.
🔥 And don’t forget—our Annual Quiz Night is on again this Saturday night after the A grade! Tickets are nearly sold out, so grab yours while they’re hot and get ready for a great night of fun, laughs, and a bit of friendly competition off the field.
A huge weekend lies ahead—big games, big efforts, and even bigger team spirit.
A big shout out to Damien and the team at APC, our Match Day Sponsor—thank you for your support and for helping make the weekend possible! 🙌
Good luck to all teams this week—play hard, support each other, and enjoy every moment!
Warren Foster, A Grade coach of Heathfield Aldgate United for 5 years in the 1970’s, took the side to 5 Grand Final’s, winning 4 during the club’s amazing achievements over its 12-year history in the HFL. Between 1967 and 1978, 30 Premierships were won across all grades including 9 A Grade flags, missing the Grand Final in only one year and winning 87 matches without loss, an Australian record which stood for over 40 years.
Warren, or Sherg as he is affectionately known, instigated a reunion in 2024 and this year 39 former players, partners and officials gathered at the Balhannah Hotel which is managed by Greg Ryan whose children play for Mt Lofty. It was a wonderful day, made even more special by the attendance of 5 Onkaparinga Valley players who played in the legendary United v Onka’s matches which were the HFL equivalent of the AFL Showdowns back in the day.”
The countdown is on for one of the biggest nights of the season!
With Bruce Dawes returning as MC, it’s guaranteed to be a great night out (…and perhaps a night that gets a little more entertaining as the evening goes on!Tables of 10 & 11 available!
