RUNNER UP B&F | HFL SENIOR WOMENS
Congratulations to Aajiah Jericho who polled Runner Up B&F for Senior Womens at the HFL Senior Presentation Night.
Well done Aaj, always giving ’em Hell 
THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS |
Greetings fellow Devils!
With the finals season well underway, on behalf of the Committee, I want to say the biggest THANK YOU possible to all those who volunteered their time to help the Mount Lofty District Football Club host the HFL Elimination Finals on Sunday at Heathfield Oval.
Without a doubt, wherever I looked, I came across a cheerful bunch of volunteers, who happily dedicated a couple of hours during their Sunday to roll up their sleeves and ensure the wider HFL community enjoyed a cracking day of Elimination Finals at Heathfield.
The buzz was palpable throughout the day, and I was congratulated several times by members of other clubs and HFL committee members on how well the event was run, and by the warm welcome extended by you all. Our sincere gratitude to every one of you, whether working on the BBQ, or behind the scenes in preparation for the day, in achieving such a successful outcome for the club!
With one premiership in the bag (U17 Girls), we still have four teams competing for a flag (U14 Boys, U16 Boys, U18 Boys and A Grade). With all four teams competing at Echunga this Sunday in do-or-die matches, we are calling out to every member of the Red Army to head out and give them all our support.
I look forward to seeing you there! Go Devs!
Peter Harvey
President
Mt Lofty District Football Club

LIFE MEMBER COIN TOSS | BRUCE DAWES
We would like to thank Bruce Dawes, who did us the honour of tossing the commemorative Life Member Coin for the match against Lobethal on Saturday 10 August 2024 whilst joining his mates for reunion day.
Bruce played his entire junior and senior career at Mt Lofty, and with 362 senior club games, is still the current record holder for the Devils. Bruce won the A Grade Best and Fairest in 1996 and was an A Grade Premiership player in 2006 and 2007, later adding 2 Premierships in the B Grade and one in the C Grade. He then went on to coach our A Grade between 2014 and 2016, becoming a Premiership Coach in 2014 and being recognised as the Senior Country Coach of the Year by the SANFL. He also coached our senior womens team in 2019 then going onto coach SANFLW League where he coached at Sturt FC and now resides at West Adelaide. Bruce is also a HFL umpire and on the HFL board.
Back home at Mt Lofty he has been an avid volunteer over many years, helping all over the club. Over the years Bruce has continuously helped with oval maintenance and line marking. He is also one of our beloved MC’s at Quiz night, Presentation night and other functions, and chips in whenever the call out comes.
We are extremely lucky to have Bruce Dawes as a part of the Mt Lofty Devils Family.
Thank you sincerely on behalf of everybody at Mt Lofty District Football Club for all that you do BD.
Both Bruce and Leith are HFL Umpires and MLDFC Life Members
