Two of our girls’ teams are playing finals footy this weekend: our U17 Girls take on the Woods in a Preliminary Final at Blackwood at 12pm on Sunday, and our U14 Girls take on Ingle Farm in a Qualifying Final at home at 1pm on Sunday. Good luck Devils!
But first, our boys are heading to Mt Barker. The action begins on Friday night with our U12s, then our U14s, U16s, U18s, Bs and As take on Mt Barker on Saturday. With only two rounds left, can our As hold on to top spot?
Our C Grade have a bye which means their season has come to a close. Well done on a great inaugural comp!
We’re at the pointy end of the season, with HFLW finals in full swing, and three rounds left in the HFL season before finals hit. We need the Devils’ army in Mt Barker on Sunday to cheer on our U17 Girls taking on the Barker Roos in a Qualifying Final at 12pm, followed by our Senior Women taking on Hahndorf in a must-win Semi Final at 1.30pm.
But first, head to Hahndorf Oval on Friday night and Saturday to cheer on our U12s Friday, and then our U14s, U16s, U18s, B Grade and A Grade on Saturday, in what are bound to be some cracking games of footy. Finally, our U14 Girls and B Grade are playing at home on Sunday, so if you can’t make it to Mt Barker, head to Heathfield Oval.
Check out all the action in the fixture or on PlayHQ.
It will be all action at Heathfield again this weekend, with games at home from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. Our Senior Women kick things off on Friday night in their last minor round game against Blackwood. Then our boys take on the Woods on Saturday, from 8.45am and finishing with our A Grade men at 2.30pm.
On Sunday, it’s a girls’ footy festival with our U12 Girls, U17 Girls and U14 Girls all playing at home. Matches start at 10.40am. Our C Grade men have a rest this weekend and our U12 Mixed are away at Echunga on Friday night.
It’s going to be a HUGE weekend at Heathfield with games being played at home from Friday night to Sunday arvo. It kicks off with our U12s on Friday, then our men take over on Saturday, and our U17 Girls and Senior Women finish things off on Sunday.
Meanwhile, also on Sunday, our C Grade are playing at Maccy, our U12 Girls are heading to Blackwood, and our U14 Girls are heading to Modbury.
We are incredibly proud to share that Heathfield Oval has been selected to host the 2025 Hills Football League Grand Final on Saturday 20 September.
This is a major milestone for our club – a testament to our facilities, community spirit, and the ongoing efforts of our volunteers and committee members. Hosting the Grand Final is both an honour and a significant opportunity for the Mount Lofty District Football Club.
What this means for our club The Grand Final will bring a large influx of players, families, and supporters from across the Hills region to our home ground. With this comes a tremendous opportunity to generate meaningful revenue to support club operations, infrastructure improvements, and continued investment in our junior and senior programs. It also allows us to showcase our club’s professionalism and hospitality to the wider community.
How you can help To make this event a success, we will need a large number of volunteers throughout the day. Key areas where your help will make a big difference include:
Upstairs Arkaba Clubhouse Function: A seated hospitality event requiring, servers, bar attendants and setup/pack-down teams.
Two BBQ Areas:
Our standard game-day BBQ on the concourse.
An additional BBQ at the southern end of the ground to cater for crowd overflow.
Two Bar Areas: Staff and RSA-qualified volunteers will be needed to assist with bar operations at multiple locations.
Whether you can spare an hour or a few, we welcome all levels of support – every bit counts. Rosters will be set up soon, and we encourage you to register your interest early.
Benefits of hosting the Grand Final
Major revenue opportunity: Income from food, beverage, and function sales will be a huge financial boost to our club.
Profile raising: Hosting a flagship event helps raise our club’s profile across the HFL and builds pride among our members.
Building connections: It’s a unique chance for us all to come together, contribute and celebrate what makes Mount Lofty special.
We will provide more detailed rosters, roles and event information in the coming weeks, but we wanted to get this on everyone’s radar now.
Let’s come together to make this a Grand Final to remember – both for our visitors and our club’s future.
Warm regards, Chris Illman President Mount Lofty District Football Club
