Before that, our boys take on Lobethal at home for Round 16, with the action kicking off at 8.45am. It’s also the Lofty Legends Reunion Round, so make sure you get to the Arkaba Clubhouse to join in the fun and reminiscing.
We would like to thank Brad Burch, who did us the honour of tossing the commemorative Life Member Coin for the match against Hahndorf on Saturday 20 July 2024.
Brad was joined by his daughter Zara, and celebrated on the oval by the B Grade team for which he had just played in.
Brad’s affiliation with Mt Lofty Football Club began when he moved to Mt Lofty as a play in the year 2000 and has been a committed player and volunteer ever since, becoming a Mt Lofty District Football Club Life Member in 2015.
Burchy has Coached Senior Colts in 2008 & 2009, Junior Colts 2022, 2023 Premiership side of course this year, he has also been assistant coach to many teams both mens and womens, and served on the committee over many years.
You will often see Brad volunteering behind the BBQ or really anywhere around the place, he is aways helping with clean up days, running our annual wine drive, and rolling the Oval.
Aside from his off field achievements earning him club life membership, Burchy has had amazing on field success:
He has played over 300 A Grade games for the Devils, current joint leader of 6 Club A Grade Best and Fairest awards, 3 times A Grade Premiership Player including 2 Alec Parker medals for Best on Ground in a Grand Final, 2 years as A Grade Captain before playing 2 years at Sturt, 3 Years of Interleague, and is a HFL playing Life Member.
We are extremely lucky to have Brad Burch as a part of the Mt Lofty Devils Family.
Thank you sincerely on behalf of everybody at Mt Lofty for all that you do for our club Burchy.
Congratulations to Jake Aish who ran out last week for his 50th A Grade match for the Devils at the Devil Dome against Hahndorf.
Having joined Mt Lofty in 2020 after time in Sturt U18s and Juniors at Mt Barker, Aishy has well truly found his home at the Devs!
This little 20yo gun, finished 5th in our B&F count last year, made BOG for interleage, was selected for Country Champs and still just goes quietly about his business.
We love your work mate! Congratulations Aishy, always giving ‘em Hell mate
