It’s a HFL BYE round so most of our teams are having a well earned rest. Our moddies, our two U12 teams and our SANFL Juniors teams are all playing though, so go and cheer them on if you can.
Our U12 Whites are playing Echunga at home on Friday night at 7pm, while our U12 Reds are playing away at Ironbank at 7pm. Then on Sunday, we have the U13 Girls up first at Henley at 8.30am, followed by the U11 Girls at Broadview at 9.50am and then the U15 Girls at Glenunga at 10.10am.
Check out the action in the fixtures below or on PlayHQ.
Another HUGE night at the club on Saturday as U8 Red & U8 White + U10 White celebrate at Arakaba Oval with the rest of our HFL teams, along with past Premiership players from reunion day and Sponsors celebrating Sponsors Day.
U8’s getting a high 5 from A grade bests Max Bawden and Alex Weeks and U10 from Declan Carmody.
Keep an eye on these kids, our moddies are all the future of our club, and are as excited as bees in a bottle!
We would like to thank John Bowes who is a Life Member of Mt Lofty, and did us the honour of tossing the commemorative Life Member coin for our match against the Iron Raiders Saturday July 1.
After starting his junior football at Sturt Street Primary School John progressed to reserves football at West Adelaide and in 1977 his brother Gary encouraged him join Heathfield Aldgate United and together, they played in that years A grade premiership team. Another A grade premiership came in SAFA in 1981 and he also won the SAFA Medal in that year. B Grade premierships came in 1986, 1988, 1989 and 1990. John then continued playing until the year 2000.
John also gave back to the club with Junior team coaching and loved his Junior Colts premiership victory of 1999. A dedicated club man had him volunteering for umpiring duties in the Juniors and B Grade, helping with fund raising, ground preparation and sitting on the management committee and is a past winner of our Club Person of the Year Award. John also spent time coaching junior interleague representative sides.
John was awarded Life Membership to Mount Lofty in 1990
