It was a well deserved reward on the weekend for our Under 15 Girls, with a 34 point win over their closest rival, Hope Valley in their SANFL Juniors Div 3 grand final played at Richmond Oval.
The win represents a second straight premiership for Mt Lofty in the Under 15 girls comp.
This year saw more than half the team either new to the club or new to Under 15s, having come up from under 13’s. But with a great female Devils culture pumping through the club at Mt Lofty, the girls were soon playing as team.
Never scared to give to ball off to a player in a better position, or put their body on the line to shepherd for their team mates, meant that the team were outscoring teams week in week out. This team culture was clearly evident throughout the Grand Final, running over their opponents in the last quarter: 6.5.41 to 1.1.7.
In the week leading into the Grand Final, the club’s senior women team helped out by providing tough opposition in a training match. The support from the club’s senior women was wonderful to see. Maybe sometime soon they will be playing together!
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.
