Please mention the Devils (Football Club) as your referring Club.

The Mt Lofty District Football Club was formed in the summer of late 1978 through an amalgamation of the Stirling and Heathfield-Aldgate United clubs. It marked the latest chapter of a rich history of football in the local area, which over various spans since the early 1900s, had featured teams from Stirling, Crafers, Aldgate, and Heathfield displaying success.

The name of Mt Lofty was chosen, reflecting the name of the original association which covered the area in the 1930s, and also signified the location for the new club, which had earned affiliation into the then metropolitan-based SAFA competition. As such, the emblem of the ‘Mountain Devils’ was also adopted, as were the red and white colors.

The foundation Stirling and Heathfield-Aldgate United clubs carried a vast tradition of success, as between them they had taken part in 25 grand finals, between 1946 and 1978.

Heathfield-Aldgate United had particularly carved a uniquely outstanding record in its 12 years of competition within the Hills Football League. From its opening A-grade premiership victory in the Hills League’s inaugural 1967 season, to the club’s final grand final win by the B-grade side in 1978, a tally of 30 premierships were won by the ‘red and green machine’ over its existence. The period also featured a run of 88 undefeated matches by the club’s A-grade side.

Despite creating a fierce rivalry in their time, the two neighboring clubs agreed to merge, and on December 1, 1978, both parties ceased to exist as individual clubs, with the formation of the Mt Lofty club. Giving the Hills representation in a city-based competition, the Devils more than performed admirably in a football environment far diverse from previous involvements. The A and B-grade sides made the grand final in the first season of 1979, before the A-grade secured the Division 2 premiership in 1981, resulting in a promotion to the top-tier SAFA competition. At the end of 1985, Mt Lofty opted to return to the Hills League competition, steeled in the knowledge it had acquitted itself well, winning a premiership and playing in several other major finals.

The club immediately made an impact back in HFL ranks, taking out the A and B-grade premierships in 1986. A further A-grade premiership followed in 1990.
After a lengthy break of success, Mt Lofty returned with a vengeance in the 2006 season, scoring premiership victories in A and B-grade and Senior Colts, to earn triple crowns for the second time in the club’s history, the previous occasion being in 1990. Vice-captain Adam Trzesinski also became the club’s first A-grade Mail Medallist.

The club maintained it’s strong position over the 2007 season, once again achieving the triple premiership feat with victories in the A-grade, B-grade and Senior Colts.

In 2008, Mt Lofty’s A-grade team secured a piece of HFL history by becoming the first side in 30 years, since Heathfield-Aldgate United, to secure three consecutive premierships in the league’s top tier of competition, after defeating Blackwood in the grand final.

Since Mt Lofty’s inaugural season of 1979, the Devils have won a healthy share of premierships through the various grades, interspersed with a number of other grand final appearances.
