A big week out for our Devils! Here is how the rest all played out.
We are on the hunt for an organised creative person to help with some Moddies socials and/or putting these wrap ups together. Would love to hear from you if you can give us your time and help take the load of a few of us 😃 – comms@mtloftydevils.com.au

Thanks to Deb Stapleton for sending in this photo of FOUR of her grandsons playing together in the U8’s Mt Lofty Green team on Saturday morning 👹❤️
Herbert Stapleton, Elliot Stapleton, Conor Burch and James Stapleton, cousins like brothers in arms at Arkaba oval. Herbie’s cousin Hamish Booth also playing in the same team, but we are told he was too busy warming up in prep for the game for the photo.
Deb & Des Stapleton have 15 Grandchildren, 12 boys and 3 girls. A few are a bit too small to be little sports stars just yet, but watch out.. these 4 are not the only ones you will see running around the footy oval. Their fathers prestigious records on our walls could well be in danger!
The time has come Devs fans!! The keys to our new change rooms are officially in our hands 🥳
An inspirational idea that started hours upon hours of chats and grant negotiations undertaken by our previous President Kym Welsby.
Kym, along with Ian Deans and John Coventry managed to secure a number of grants and get planning for our beautiful new change rooms, before Kym passed the project onto his successor Scott Taylor. We cannot thank these guys enough for all of the work they have put into getting us here.
This project has been a huge undertaking for the Sports and Social Club, the Mt Lofty Football Club and the Mt Lofty Cricket Club, in conjunction with the Adelaide Hills Council, and we are SO EXCITED to be honoured to now have what we think is one of the best facilities in the state for community sports.
This facility has enough space for multiple teams to be using the rooms at one time, with disability, diversity and inclusion all taken into account. The upstairs rooms can also be converted into a function room if required. What a superb outcome for the community!
Thank you to everyone involved, get up to the game tomorrow and check it out for yourself 👹
Our new home!What a view!Run out doors from Home and Away change roomsUpstairs rooms with a viewing area over the ovalThe home change rooms with toilets/showers behind the white board, a medical room and a storage room attachedIndividual shower and toilet cubicles in all change roomsNew cricket nets
With a few more weeks before our first home game, the centre of the oval should be cherry ripe by then! But we need your help.
We need all feet off the turf on the pitch to let it settle in, so the bunting needs to NOT be removed by any players, coaches or visitors to Arkaba Oval.
Let’s pay respect the volunteer man hours put in to getting the oval ready for footy season for the entire club. Thanks everyone!
