The final round of the minor season sees our teams from U14s through to A Grade welcome the Lobethal Tigers to Heathfield. With finals spots and ladder positions on the line, every game is important, including a do-or-die clash for our A Grade side. Make sure you get down and support our players in what promises to be a massive day of football.

This is the big one, and our girls need all the support they can get. We want to see a sea of red and white in the crowd, so grab your club colours and get out there to cheer them on!

1966 Opening of Heathfield Oval
What an event for the community! A lot of red tape and dedication by many community members, eventually the Heathfield Oval was opened!
Fun Fact – Heathfield High School was originally a speedway before it was a school, then an oval. And in 1962 locals gained approval from the government to clear the site of the Heathfield oval and locals literally calved out the Heathfield Oval by hand! 1966 our oval was officially opened and the first footy match played on it’s turf! So while you’re playing, remember the hard work that went into you even having an oval to begin with!
