Well we are BACK! And Round 1 saw three new fellas debut for the Devils A Grade out at Uraidla, and all three of put in a huge effort to be proud of.
They were presented their guernseys before the match by club stalwart, life member, past A Grade Coach, and 2021 SA AFL Junior Coach of the year, Leith Dawes, who gave all of the boys a passionate talk on what it means to play for Mt Lofty and wear our guernsey.
Welcome to the club: #8 Kenny Lam #11 Sam McTaggart #23 Ash Eckermann
Kylie and Chis the proud parents of Sam McTaggart were able to be there to enjoy the experience too. *unfortunately we were not able to convince Leith to shave the beard off for the occasion.. Sorry Jackie.
Friday we prepped the cricket pitch on Arkaba Oval for footy season 👹
A MASSIVE shout out to the guys that got in did the work, senior players Ash Eckermann and Anderson Wood, not forgetting forgetting Ian Deans, John Coventry and Scott Taylor who are there for us thick and thin, from all the work with the new change rooms, right down to organising the new turf for cricket pitch.
This year we have pre-cut turf all laid out ready to go. Our coaches have been informed, NO feet will be on it until after Easter, giving it a good rest to settle in.
