Since February, your Grand Final Committee has been hard at work bringing together the biggest event on the football calendar – the 2025 HFL Grand Final on Saturday 20 September.
Now, as we reach the final stages of planning, we need your help to make the day a success. We’re calling for volunteers to assist on Grand Final day. There’s every chance we’ll see Lofty teams on the field, so rosters have been designed around when teams are likely to play.
That said, please don’t feel locked into specific times – encourage players, parents and supporters to sign up wherever it best fits.
Free entry to the Grand Final (the HFL manages the gate on the day).
A front-row role on one of the most exciting days of the season.
The satisfaction of supporting a huge fundraising opportunity – proceeds will help us bridge the gap needed to upgrade our oval lights to LED by season 2026.
We’ve got an incredible day planned, including half-time and post-game entertainment, so it promises to be a memorable celebration of football and community.
Please click on the roster link above and add your name, and share the link with your networks to help us fill the time slots. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.
We are seeking between 28 and 36 people across key timeslots! With over 500 players in the club, it should be easy to fill those spots fast!
Let’s make this Grand Final not only a great day on the field, but a shining moment for the Mount Lofty community.
Congratulations to our U14 Girls and U17 Girls who have both made their Grand Finals! Our U14s had a good win against Ingle Farm and now have a week off before their SANFL Juniors Grand Final. Our U17s beat Blackwood and will take on Mt Barker next Sunday in the HFLW GF.
There were lots of other good results this weekend, including for our As, Bs, U18s, U16s and U12s. Our U16s are now sitting top of their ladder, with one minor round to go.
Well done to all our teams for their efforts! Check out the results below or on PlayHQ.
Two of our girls’ teams are playing finals footy this weekend: our U17 Girls take on the Woods in a Preliminary Final at Blackwood at 12pm on Sunday, and our U14 Girls take on Ingle Farm in a Qualifying Final at home at 1pm on Sunday. Good luck Devils!
But first, our boys are heading to Mt Barker. The action begins on Friday night with our U12s, then our U14s, U16s, U18s, Bs and As take on Mt Barker on Saturday. With only two rounds left, can our As hold on to top spot?
Our C Grade have a bye which means their season has come to a close. Well done on a great inaugural comp!
Commiserations to our Senior Women who went down to Hahndorf in a nailbiter in the HFLW Semi Final on Sunday. Well done on a strong season and bring on 2026! Our U17 Girls went down to Mt Barker in their Qualifying Final by one point but have another chance next week. Go you Devils!
On Saturday, our A Grade beat Hahndorf in a thriller and our B Grade, U18s and U16s also had good wins against Hahndorf. With two rounds left until finals, the excitement is building.
Meanwhile, our U14 Girls are sitting top of the ladder after their final minor round game – SANFL Juniors finals start next weekend. Good luck girls! Our U12 Girls’ season has come to an end but well done on your efforts in 2025.
Well done to all our teams this weekend! Check out the results below or on PlayHQ.
We’re at the pointy end of the season, with HFLW finals in full swing, and three rounds left in the HFL season before finals hit. We need the Devils’ army in Mt Barker on Sunday to cheer on our U17 Girls taking on the Barker Roos in a Qualifying Final at 12pm, followed by our Senior Women taking on Hahndorf in a must-win Semi Final at 1.30pm.
But first, head to Hahndorf Oval on Friday night and Saturday to cheer on our U12s Friday, and then our U14s, U16s, U18s, B Grade and A Grade on Saturday, in what are bound to be some cracking games of footy. Finally, our U14 Girls and B Grade are playing at home on Sunday, so if you can’t make it to Mt Barker, head to Heathfield Oval.
Check out all the action in the fixture or on PlayHQ.
It is with great sadness that we advise of the passing of Mt Lofty Sports Club Life Governor, and long-time player, volunteer and supporter of both the Stirling and Mt Lofty Football Clubs, Lynton Laffey.
A staunch supporter, with his wife Margaret, who attended all Mt Lofty matches until ill health prevented this several years ago, Lynton remained fully across the club’s progress until his passing on Thursday 31 July 2025.
Following in the footsteps of his father, who was a champion goal kicking forward for Stirling, Lynton played his football for the heritage club, being a member of the 1963 Senior Colts Premiership side and later becoming a very strong and passionate volunteer on the formation of the Mt Lofty Football Club. Such was his dedication that he and Margaret became Life Governors of the then Mt Lofty Sports Club which was fundamental to the construction of the Licensed Club building, now referred to as the Pavilion.
Lynton’s passion for Mt Lofty saw him provide much voluntary work for the club in the background and his support grew even further when his son Chris proudly wore the red and white as a junior and senior player, being a member of the 1998 Senior Colts Premiership. The family’s conviction to Mt Lofty has certainly been very strong through Lynton, Margaret, Chris and Lynton’s sister Helen Hewitt and a family connection with Grandson, Charlie Ness still playing in the U14’s with Mt Lofty.
Lynton’s Funeral service will be held in the Carr Memorial Chapel, 1 Morphett St, Mt Barker on Thursday 7th August 2025, at 10.00am.
The Lofty Legends Group and the Mt Lofty District Football Club pass on our sincere condolences at this very sad time to Margaret, Kerryn, Chris and their families and the extended family.
