WOW! What a day to kickstart season 2022 for the Devils!
Thank you to all of you that came out to register, get your merch and just have a fun day with your mates at Arkaba Oval today. It was fantastic to see all of our little Devs getting together with their mates, and getting to mingle with the big Devs for a kick and catch and a few games on the newly dressed oval. A few snags and icy poles for all, and everyone had a great day out.
A big thanks to major sponsor BMD for volunteering our BBQ cookers for the day and keeping out bellies all full after all the running around. This is not the first year BMD have supplied volunteers for the day, a support service above and beyond and we truely thank them for their dedication to our beloved club.
A big thanks goes out to Sports Centre for joining us on the day so our Devs were able to try on, purchase AND have their names printed on merchandise. If you were not able to make it on the day, merch is still available HERE
Don’t forget YOU CAN STILL REGISTER on the links. Get in before Feb 28th to avoid late rego status.
Finally thank you to all of the volunteers for your time in making today possible, from the eternally dedicated, to the parents and players (young and old) that helped out with everything. Our amazing club would not be such a warming, welcoming, inclusive environment without your dedicated support.
See you soon Devs fans 👹

A message for all of our past Devils and Heritage Club people.
The reunion which was to take place on Saturday 24 July and was cancelled due to the COVID Lock Down will be deferred to next season.
We will celebrate it as the “One Two” reunion recognising seasons ending in 1 and 2 and will be aiming to hold it in the second home game, which would be late April or early May 2022.
There is still plenty of excitement left in this season with the HFL men’s and boy’s still in the race for finals and the HFL Women’s A Grade having won their way into the Grand Final with the Under 17 Girls playing in the Preliminary Final this Sunday. The Chairman’s Lunch tomorrow will also be another highlight as the men take on Uraidla in a must win match.
Season 2022 is looking very exciting with the expected opening of the $1.7M upgrade of the change rooms and the continuing development of teams across the club, particularly the young A Grade Men’s team.
We recently took copies of photographs from a wonderful album of HAU and Mt Lofty which was put together by Glenda DeRoos. We sincerely thank Glenda and past champion Herman for allowing us to share some terrific photos. The photo below is quite amazing in showing some of the people from the heritage clubs who came together so successfully to form Mt Lofty.

1961,71,81 were very important premiership milestones in our club history. Firsts for Heathfield, the start of HAU’s A Grade 87-game winning streak (a record held for over 40 years and only recently beaten) and 1981 was another first with the Mt Lofty A Grade Premiership.
