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
