All roads lead to Blackwood this weekend, as our boys take on the Woods on Saturday, followed by another Super Sunday for our girls, with our U17s and Senior Women both playing at Blackwood.
Also on Saturday, our U16s and U18s will be playing off for the Courier Cup. This tradition sees the top two teams in each division at the halfway point of the Home and Away season play off for the Courier Cup when they meet again in the second round of the season. Good luck boys!
Our U12s have a bye this week – enjoy the break. Meanwhile, our U12 Girls take on Hectorville away and our U14 Girls take on Port District at home on Sunday.

We would like to thank Jonathan Jaensch who did us the honour of tossing the commemorative Life Member coin for the match against Echunga on Saturday 15 June 2024.
Sheepy is the person that every football club needs and thrives on, showing his love for the club again this wet wintery weekend having been here last night for U12’s and womens football, and all day today as our hydration specialist.
Jono joined the Devils in 2011 and played in the C Grade Grand Final under coach Thunder.
In 2012 he played in B Grade and C Grade, unfortunately sustaining an injury which saw him end up in hospital, and have to make unenviable call to his coach that he would not be continuing playing.
He did not let that stop him being a part of the club he loved. He came out and ran water for the boys that went on to win a Premiership.
From there Sheepy has continued to be our clubs water runner every year, helping our mens, womens, junior boys, and junior girls.
Before he moved to Mt Barker in 2023, Jono was living in Seacliff so he was making the drive to Heathfield 5-7 days per week to make trainings and games for his beloved Devils over the 11 year period. There are not many Premiership photos on the wall in this period that do not feature Jonathan, highlighting his passion for his beloved Devils.
In 2017 Jono was awarded the Mt Lofty District Football Club Frank Clements Club Person of the Year Award.
In 2019, he was awarded the Adelaide Football Women’s League Volunteer of the Year Award.
In 2023 Jonathan “Sheepdog” Jaensch was inducted as Mt Lofty District Football Club Life Member.
Thank you sincerely on behalf of everybody at Mt Lofty for all that you do for our club.
