With season 2021 now officially all wrapped up for our senior squad, Friday 24th September saw our players, coaches, volunteers, committee, supporters and valued life members celebrate the year and their teams at the Senior Presentation night over an amazing meal catered by club sponsor Gawler St Café.
A night to celebrate the year, and give thanks to everyone involved that contributes to getting our footballers on the park each week, we had a wonderful evening which saw many faces of past and present come together to celebrate all that makes our club the place we love to call home.
We would like to thank a few people before we throw to some great photos from the event.

Everyday is a good day to check in on a mate. Today is R U OK Day, a day to remind us all that it is ok to NOT be OK.
Remember, there is more to ask after R U OK?
Footy mates are mates for life and everyday is a good to as check in on a mate.

State and Territory Award Winners Announced
As part of the ongoing commitment to recognising the incredible effort our community football volunteers put in to run the game at a local level, the AFL is proud to announce the 2021 Toyota National Volunteer Award winners from all around the country.
All Auskick Centres, Schools, Community Clubs and Leagues were invited to nominate an outstanding volunteer as part of the Toyota AFL National Volunteer Awards.
AFL received over 600 Nominations nationally, recognizing the significant contribution our volunteers give to the game, right across the industry.
These volunteers may have contributed to the completion of a major or significant project throughout the year, gone above and beyond throughout Covid affected 2020 season or they may be someone who has contributed to a number of roles over a long period.
National Club and Volunteer Support Manager, Alex Burgin said that being able to recognise and reward our volunteers is critical to the ongoing success of community football:
“The AFL are so incredibly grateful to each and every one of our 220,000 community football volunteers, the unsung heroes who work tirelessly to progress our great game in various capacities – at community clubs, leagues and across every Auskick centre.
Through a difficult season in many states, the quality of nominations shows how local AFL clubs, are determined to continue working though the hurdles and achieve amazing outcomes and excellent AFL experiences for our community”
Congratulations to the truly deserving Volunteer of the Year Award recipients. The National Volunteer of the Year Awards are presented by Toyota as Premier Partner of the AFL, and as proud supporters of Australia’s game, men and women, young and old, from the grassroots to the elite.
National Winners will be announced in Mid-September.
