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.
A huge congratulations to our U17 Girls who are the HFLW premiers! They beat Mt Barker by 48 points in the Grand Final at Handorf, making it three in a row. Well done to Adrian and team on another great season. You’ve made the club proud.
Congratulations also to our U12s who had a good win against Uraidla on Friday night in their qualifying final and have gone straight through to their Grand Final in two weeks.
Meanwhile, there were mixed results for our teams on Saturday for the last minor round of the season. Our B Grade had a good win V Nairne and have finished top of the ladder and our U14s also took the chocolates – a great way to finish their season – but there were losses for our As, U18s and U16s. Now our U16s, U18s, Bs and As all look ahead to finals next weekend.
Well done to all our teams for their efforts! Check out the results below or on PlayHQ.
See you next week Devs fans!
