Round 11 at Barossa Park πŸ”΄βšͺοΈπŸ”΅
It’s another massive weekend at home as we take on the Tanunda Magpies in Round 11 — and it’s also our SPONSORS DAY!

We’re proud to celebrate the amazing local businesses that back our club — your support means everything to us.

This week’s game times are proudly supported by Ministry of Beer — just a short stroll from the oval!

With the Magpies sitting just below us on the ladder in both Reserves and A Grade, it’s set to be a tight contest. Stick around as our Senior Women take to the field under lights in what promises to be another high-energy match.

Over on the netball courts, our girls are up bright and early, with the Senior 2s looking to hold onto second spot on the ladder as the second half of the season heats up.

πŸ‘§ On Sunday, our junior female footballers face Tanunda at Gawler South Oval, while our youngest pups — the U10 girls — wrap up their season with a 4-game carnival and presentations at Gawler Central Oval.

Stay after the final siren for dinner at the clubrooms — everyone welcome!

🎡 Then we roll into iPod Shuffle Night — a fun night of music, dancing,good vibes and a chance to win some cash! Grab your tick#BDFNC #sponsorsdayi#ipodshufflenightm#MinistryOfBeere — see you at the Park!

πŸ”΄βšͺοΈπŸ”΅Round 10 Results – Brought to you by our platinum sponsor Shorter Legal πŸ”΄βšͺοΈπŸ”΅

In a rare repeat, our A Grade footballers have drawn again with the Nuri Tigers – just like in Round 1!
Our Under 15s put up a tough fight but narrowly missed out, going down by just 1 point.

Our Senior Women bounced back strong, securing a great win over Nuri, joined by our Under 13 Girls, who also took home a solid victory.

In the netball, our Senior 1 and Senior 2 sides both brought home the win in hard-fought matches!
