Sadly the Club have been informed that Adam Kusznir will be stepping down as our Senior Womens Coach for season 2023.
Adam came to us as an Assistant Coach at North Haven, and in his 3 years, progressed from an Assistant Coaching role, a Development Coach helping all of our junior and senior girls to Head Coach.
Not only that he provided the club some wonderful entertainment and memories with his band ‘The sound from home improvement’.
We wish Adam and his partner Anna all the best in their continued journey.
Congratulations to all of the Mt Lofty Devils Senior teams on a fantastic season. Well done to all of our award winners presented at Senior Presentation Night!
We had a fantastic night at the Top of Ark. Thanks again to the Arkaba Hotel for putting on a great night and another wonderful season as major sponsor.
CONGRATULATIONS DEVILS. See you next season!

Lofty Legends Award
It is presented to a player who is dedicated to the team and the club and is heavily committed to their own improvement and that of the team. They are also persistent and determined and treat everybody with respect, while respecting all aspects of the club.
It is selected by each team’s coaching panel and is donated by the Lofty Legends Group, which maintains the contact of former players, coaches, volunteers and supporters with the club, while supporting the club in various ways including maintenance and any other tasks required. The “Legends” term refers to the wonderful stories of the clubs in the areas which have gone before us – Aldgate, Crafers, Heathfield, Heathfield Aldgate United and Stirling.
Shaun Gould, the man that has given everything to this club, has now got his ultimate reward, a premiership, and is ready to hang up the proverbial boots.
Devoted for the last 3 years to the B Grade Men as Head Coach and willing them all the way to a ’22 Courier Cup and Premiership, Bubbles and his boys have grown into a stellar young team that have bonded together to take the ultimate reward for all of the hard work and effort put in over this time
Shaun has also helped drive the Women’s Program literally from nothing at Mt Lofty in 2016, as well as taking on the inaugural Coach role, plus has played in his is own Premierships – ’06 Senior Colts and ’10 B Grade. If it hadn’t been for injury we are sure he would have been a player coach in the 2022 flag too.
One of the best a club could ask for: line marker, time-keeper, BBQ cook, team manager, football director, bar worker, Super Sunday coordinator, water runner, goal umpire, waiter, coach of all grades, team mate and friend to all.
