The Sunday Mail is asking South Australians to nominate a junior sportsperson whose actions on field and off make you feel proud.
A weekly online gallery of finalists is published at advertiser.com.au with a $100 prize also awarded each week, sponsored by Fairmont Homes, in recognition of the importance of grassroots sport.
The ongoing campaign aims to celebrate kids’ involvement in sport in all shapes and forms, showcasing skills, courage, passion and good sportsmanship.
“We wanted to do something fun to celebrate junior sport – sometimes it is the big moments, such as an amazing game-winning goal, that are worth cheering but often it is the small things that warm our family’s hearts most … the firsts, the friendships or a show of resilience,” Sunday Mail editor Jessica Leo-Kelton said.
We would like to congratulate our newest additions to Bawds’ Boys all having joined us from last years senior colts premiership team.

The boys were presented their gurnseys by fellow team mates and mentors Alex Weeks, Damien Nicholls (captain) and Brad Burch before the match at Mt Barker on Saturday. Well done boys, looking forward to seeing what you have for us.
A big congratulations goes out to Nick Thomson who will front up against Mt Barker this week to play in his 50th AGrade match for the Devils.
Having been with the Devs since Junior Colts in 2010, Nick has become one of the most devoted and dedicated Devils of the senior squad. Nick has featured in the best players line up for the Devs on many occasions, and played in the winning Interleague Hills AGrade team in 2019.
Nick is known amongst our boys for being one of the most driven individuals for self-improvement. This shows on the field as he dominates in one-on-one contests and has become one of the most reliable key defenders you see out there, he is only going from strength to strength in 2021.
Very popular amongst his peers and a great club man on and off the field we absolutely love having Nick as part of the Mt Lofty Family (although the new haircut has the club divided)
