Congratulations to Stan and Barb Evans who celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary last Wednesday November 2nd.
A wonderful article appeared in last week’s Sunday Mail and on behalf of all past players, coaches, officials, members, supporters and sponsors we would like to congratulate them and pass on our sincere appreciation for the many decades of dedicated service to our community.
We hope Stan and Barb had a really enjoyable week of celebration and catching up with family and friends and reminiscing about so many fantastic times.

A message for all of our past Devils and Heritage Club people.
The reunion which was to take place on Saturday 24 July and was cancelled due to the COVID Lock Down will be deferred to next season.
We will celebrate it as the “One Two” reunion recognising seasons ending in 1 and 2 and will be aiming to hold it in the second home game, which would be late April or early May 2022.
There is still plenty of excitement left in this season with the HFL men’s and boy’s still in the race for finals and the HFL Women’s A Grade having won their way into the Grand Final with the Under 17 Girls playing in the Preliminary Final this Sunday. The Chairman’s Lunch tomorrow will also be another highlight as the men take on Uraidla in a must win match.
Season 2022 is looking very exciting with the expected opening of the $1.7M upgrade of the change rooms and the continuing development of teams across the club, particularly the young A Grade Men’s team.
We recently took copies of photographs from a wonderful album of HAU and Mt Lofty which was put together by Glenda DeRoos. We sincerely thank Glenda and past champion Herman for allowing us to share some terrific photos. The photo below is quite amazing in showing some of the people from the heritage clubs who came together so successfully to form Mt Lofty. Left to right, Lyn Evans (Stirling, Heathfield Aldgate United and Mt Lofty), Frank Clements (Aldgate, Heathfield Aldgate United and Mt Lofty), Bryan Moulds (Stirling and Mt Lofty), Herman DeRoos (Aldgate, Stirling, Heathfield Aldgate United and Mt Lofty)
We trust that everybody is going well in these testing times.

Lucy Earl, daughter of Dennis Earl was a member of the Glenelg SANFLW team which defeated West Adelaide in last Saturday’s Grand Final to win their first Premiership.
Lucy, 23, 178 centimetres and playing in defence, has played 32 games and was named in Glenelg’s Best Players in their 5.10.40 – 2.5.17 victory. Lucy also gained the accolade of ranking equal 4th in Glenelg’s B&F count this year.
Encounter Bay was Lucy’s first club and later she played in a Premiership side with Christies Beach before joining Glenelg in 2020. While we would love to have seen her in the Red and White, it was terrific to see her competing against our Allani Dawes playing for Sturt on Adelaide Oval during the season.
We wish to congratulate Lucy and her family who have been amazing players, officials and supporters of Mt Lofty and Heritage Clubs, Aldgate and Heathfield Aldgate United. Brothers Dennis and Barry played in many Premierships for HAU and Mt Lofty, with Dennis going on to be President of the club. Grandfather Garry played for Aldgate and was an incredibly dedicated volunteer for HAU and Mt Lofty for decades while Grandmother, Bev also gave dedicated service over decades.
