PRESIDENTS REPORT MARCH 2026
Please check out another great newsletter in March on the website. See above.
Hi Everyone, Hope you all have a happy and safe easter, enjoy the time with family and friends. If you are hitting the road, drive safe.
Since the last newsletter we have played a couple of trial games, these are a good opportunity to put what we practice into a somewhat match simulation. Thanks to all involved.
Condolences to Peter Huxtable’s family on his passing. Peter was heavily involved with South and other Community groups and events in Port Augusta, my thoughts are with their family at this sad time.
Congratulations to South A grade cricket for winning the premiership , well done! Thanks to Mick Kerin and his helpers for the Bunnings BBQ on Sunday March 29, these are a great fundraiser for the club.
As normal for this time of year the club is gearing up for the upcoming footy season, a lot of things are happening. If you are able to assist with any roles, please don’t hesitate to contact me or any committee member, your help will be greatly appreciated.
The conflict in the middle east is causing concern and angst globally, its not confined to that region. Regional Australia will be feeling the ramifications as it continues, this means we will need to be on the ball at our club in relation to extra transport costs, possible increase in other charges we will most likely be hit with. If it continues for an extended period we may have to look at cutting costs and increasing prices, these decisions won’t be taken lightly, costs can be absorbed to a degree but when prices increase we hope the members understand.
I don’t have much more for now.
Please stay safe, have a great Easter and we will see you after the break.
Nick Heron President

South Augusta has won several awards and four Port Augusta Council Community Events of the Year in a row from 2020-2023. They were for the Kangaroo Island Western Districts FC Bushfire Recovery (raised $5000 for the 2020 win), MS Mid-Summer Ball ($8000 for the 2021 win), the Will Bolitho Recovery Fundraising (a substantial confidential amount for the 2022 win) and the Harley Owners Group (HOG) Rally (for the 2023 win). For the 2024 award we nominated February 2023’s Mid-Summer Ball which raised $10547 for Dementia Australia, June’s inaugural SAFC Hall of Fame, June’s Jodi Lee Foundation event and October’s fourth SAFC vs Emergency Services match. The club has raised a total of $82,000 for various charities/causes since 2019.
South Augusta gives every element of support and knowledge to its juniors. So much that the majority of our players who were involved in the A Grade team winning Premierships from 2016 to 2020 played juniors for us! The club prides itself in its coaching staff and style, from our tiny Under 9’s upwards. The club manages teams in Under 7s, Under 9s, Under 11s, Under 13s, Under 15s and Under 18s together with B and A Grade. The club also has 2 Under 11s Girls teams plus girls teams in Under 14s and Under 17s. A total of 12 teams in total to support.
South’s have had an excellent success record throughout the club, with the equal highest number of SGL A Grade premierships with 13 Grand final wins since 1961. Even past and present AFL players such as Jared Rivers ( Current coach at Collingwood) , Bryan Bienke ( Adelaide Crows and North Melbourne), Josh Coulter (Adelaide), Luke Taylor (Melbourne) and most recently Connor Rozee, captain of Port Adelaide and St Kilda player Izaac Keeler, came through our junior ranks.
