Proudly partnering with our 2025 Major Sponsors
CMI-HINO, WFI insurance, GJ Gardner Homes Barossa, RayWhite Barossa & Klose Supermarkets
We’re back at home this weekend taking on Kapunda, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Both our Reserves and A Grade footy sides are fighting for those all-important finals spots – every kick, every tackle, every goal counts!
On the netball courts, our girls face some massive clashes as they push hard for their own finals chances. Expect determination, grit and plenty of fight right to the final whistle. 🏐✨
On Sunday women’s footy – it’s prelim final time! 🙌 Our U13s and U16s will be leaving absolutely everything out there for a golden ticket into the Grand Final next week. These girls have worked their hearts out all season – now it’s time to show up, get loud and get behind them! ❤️🤍💙
Meanwhile, our Senior Women’s side get a well-earned rest this week after securing a direct ticket into the Grand Final. 🏆 One step away from glory!
🍻 And don’t rush off after the games – stick around for dinner and our legendary Annual Beer Pong Night! Always a club favourite and a night you won’t want to miss.
Let’s pack the kennel, make some noise, and show Kapunda what Barossa District is all about! 🔵⚪️🔴 ... See MoreSee Less
