It is with great sadness that we advise of the passing of David Fuller, a very much loved member of and Premiership player with both the Heathfield and Heathfield Aldgate United Football Clubs.
Sadly, Dave’s long battle with illness ended on Saturday night and a service in his memory may take place late this week. David’s family will provide us with more detail as soon as available and we will forward that on together with his wonderful club record.
Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time.

Cliff Chaplin is being celebrated today as he does us the honor of tossing the coin for the A Grade game against Uraidla.
At 97 years of age he is one of our oldest Life Members and was awarded Life Member status in the 1976.
An original Heathfield Football Club player who spent much of his playing career in the B Grade and coaching our Under 14’s, before moving into extended service as our A Grade Goal Umpire.
Congratulations to our home grown Connor Milde who will hit a ton this weekend as he runs out against Uraidla on Saturday marking 100 Senior Club Games for the young Devil.Â
A nifty, quick moving forward, who moves around the front 50 with ease and can snap a quick snag like no other, Connor has stepped into the role this year as a leading goal kicker as smoothly as a pair of traidies on the Honey Badger.Â
He has been around the Devs since he was knee high to a grass hopper, always turning down a lolly and a can of pop to do the score board or water for the seniors, just to be around the boys and amongst the action 👹Â
Looking forward to the next ton Connor, give ‘em Hell mate. Â
