In our Mt Lofty TEAMS competition for the Toyota Good 4 Footy Raffle, the U13 Girls are leading with $685 worth of ticket sales so far, but the U16 Boys team is making a late charge with $380 worth of ticket sales.
Can the U16 Boys beat the U13 Girls? Can the U15 Girls make a comeback (still sitting on $190 in sales)? Can another team challenge for the prize?
The team that raises the most money in the Good 4 Footy Raffle using their unique link (see below), will win a $200 voucher to spend at the Aldgate Pump Hotel.
In addition, all money raised goes towards our new digital scoreboard AND you could win a car!
The raffle closes on 5 September 2022 and prize winners are announced on 9 September 2022.
It’s Grand Final weekend for our U17 Girls who take on Hahndorf at 12pm on Sunday at Hanson Oval, Mt Barker. Our girls have been hit by injuries in recent weeks and are going into the game as underdogs. We need our Devils’ army at the match on Sunday cheering them on!
Our SANFL Juniors teams start their finals campaigns this weekend. Our U13 Girls take on Brighton at Henley Oval at 9am on Sunday, in an Elimination Final. They also need our support so get down there if you can. Our U15 Girls will enjoy a weekend off as they finished top – congratulations to the Minor Premiers!
Meanwhile it’s the last minor round for our HFL Boys/Mens teams, with most of our teams in finals contention:
U12 Boys – 2nd
U16 Boys – 5th
U18 Boys – 3rd
B Grade Men – 2nd
It’s a must win game for our A Grade Men who take on ladder leader Hahndorf on Saturday (plus a few other matches need to go our way…). Can our boys pull off a mighty upset and book a finals spot?
Congratulations to Nathan Nicholls, who is playing this weekend at Arkaba Oval v Onkas and has knocked up his 50th Senior match.
Our stats person was sleeping last week, so Nath gets to celebrate his 51st senior match home at the Devil Dome.
Nath has been playing for the Devils since day dot, and nothing has changed. He is man of great character who puts his body on the line every week (we checked with Jo, its definitely every week).
This Devil is a quick, nifty very reliable defender, who’s footy skills you can count on week in and week out. A guy who is there at a drop of a hat when you need him, Nath is the man you want on your team every day of the week.
Congratulations to Ben Naughton, who will play his 50th Senior match this weekend at Arkaba Oval v Onkas.
Coming into seniors, Ben has improved dramatically over the last few seasons, to find himself 2022 Vice Captain. A heart and soul player who is superb at finding his own space around the ground. Ben has found a niche as a damaging forward that seems to fly under the radar with the opposition, taking little time in the forward 50 to make his mark.
Not only do the senior boys love being around this guy, Ben has spent time working with the Junior Colts this year and our junior program and Auskick over the years. A true community football lad and a Devil to be proud of.
Congrats on your 50 Benjamin! Give ‘em Hell this weekend.
Our U17 Girls will play a prelim final on Sunday in Mt Barker after a MASSIVE win last Sunday in the elimination final via a goal after the siren.
Meanwhile our Senior Men’s match on Saturday will be live streamed from Arkaba Oval at 2.30pm by Filming Footy and Call of the Wild. It’s a big day at Arkaba Oval on Saturday with many of our HFL juniors and seniors playing at home, featuring the Chairman’s Lunch during the day with Guest Speaker Dizzy Gillespie!
It’s the final minor round for our SANFL Juniors teams on Sunday, with our U15 Girls guaranteed a top of the ladder finish and our U13 Girls currently sitting 2nd.
