🏉 SAVE THE DATES 🏉

The Raiders are taking over Summit Oval!

Mark your calendars for two huge Saturdays at Summit Oval, Mt Barker on July 18 and July 25.

Our U14s, U17s, B Grade and A Grade will all have the opportunity to play at one of the premier football venues in the Adelaide Hills, with the AFL-standard facilities providing a fantastic experience for our players, coaches and supporters.

The first weekend gets even bigger with our U14 Girls taking centre stage in a twilight clash against Hahndorf, while our inaugural Ladies Day 🥂💙 will also be held at Summit Oval on Saturday 18 July. Be sure to get your tickets for this fun event!

It’s not often we get the chance to have (nearly) the whole club together at one venue, so we’d love to see a big Raiders crowd there across both weekends.

📅 Saturday 18 July – Seniors Round 14
📅 Saturday 25 July – Seniors Round 15
📍 Summit Oval, Mt Barker

One Club. One Venue. Two Big Weekends. 💙🏉

WEEKEND FIXTURES 🏉

A huge weekend ahead for the Raiders with footy spread across all three days! 💙

Friday night kicks things off under lights, with our U8’s, U10’s and U12’s in action. We welcome Echunga, Hahndorf and Mt Barker to Bridgewater, while our U8 Blue side heads to Nairne.

Saturday sees our U17s and senior grades at home taking on Mt Barker CD and Birdwood, while our U14s enjoy a well-earned bye.

Then on Sunday, our U14 Girls hit the road to face Mt Barker as they continue their strong season.

🔥 Don’t forget our Winter Warmer Night on Saturday after A Grade! Rug up and join us for baked potatoes, mulled wine, music, the bar open and a fire pit as we celebrate another great day at the footy.

Get around the Raiders this weekend! 💙🏉

With the U14s having a bye this weekend and rain forecast making training difficult, coaches Justin and Paul decided to mix things up last night and swap training for a team bonding session down the hill at the bowling alley.

It was a fantastic night of laughs, friendly competition and plenty of fun away from the footy field. A reminder that being part of a team is more than just football – it’s about building friendships, connection and a strong club culture.

Go Raiders 💪🏻

The kids can enjoy a kick on the oval and roast marshmallows while everyone settles in around the fire.

🏉 WEEKEND WRAP UP 🏉

Another strong weekend for the Raiders, with wins in the U12s, U14s and B Grade, while the U17s enjoyed a bye.

The U12s kicked things off on Friday night with a solid win over Hahndorf, continuing their impressive season. On Saturday, the U14s were dominant against Macclesfield, recording a convincing 49-point victory to remain right in the mix near the top of the ladder.

The B Grade also got the job done in a tough contest, holding on for an important 6-point win away from home.

Our A Grade fell just short against the top-placed Bloods, going down by 9 points. After suffering a 64-point defeat the last time the sides met, the boys showed enormous improvement and took it right up to the ladder leaders.

On Sunday, our U14 Girls faced a strong Blackwood side. While the scoreboard didn’t fall our way, the girls continued to show great resilience and determination right to the final siren.

A great effort across the club and plenty to build on heading into the next round.
