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.
