🏆 FINALS WEEKEND WRAP 🏆

What a weekend — and what a season for the Raiders. 💙

Friday night saw our U12s take the field in the 2026 Div 1 Grand Final, and it was brilliant to see such a huge Raiders crowd there cheering them on. Mt Barker proved too strong on the night, but we couldn’t be prouder of this group and everything they’ve achieved this season. They’ve had an incredible year, and there is so much to look forward to with this group coming through. The future is bright!

Saturday was a massive day for our club at Kersbrook, with our U14s, U17s, B Grade and A Grade all playing Preliminary Finals.

Our U14s put on an outstanding performance, dominating their prelim and booking their place in the 2026 Grand Final! 🔥

Unfortunately our U17s, B Grade and A Grade fell short, bringing their seasons to an end. But what seasons they have been. To have every Raiders team reach at least the Preliminary Final — and two teams make Grand Finals — is a first for our club. An incredible achievement and something everyone involved with the Raiders should be extremely proud of.

For most of our teams, that brings an amazing 2026 to a close. Bring on 2027.

But we’re not finished yet… 👀

Our U14s will carry the Raiders into the 2026 Grand Final next weekend, and we want a HUGE Raiders crowd there behind them.

One last time in 2026 — let’s turn up, get loud and get behind our U14s! 💙🤍

BRING ON THE GRAND FINAL! 🏆🔥

Congratulations to Alex Forster, taking out the 2026 HFL A Grade Country Division Leading Goalkicker with 98 goals across the minor round!

And he hasn’t stopped there… Forster is now up to 108 goals for the season with finals still alive! 🔥

An incredible season from our goal-kicking machine. Congratulations!

🔥 PRELIMINARY FINALS — LET’S GO RAIDERS! 🔥

What a Saturday we have ahead! All four Raiders teams — U14s, U17s, B Grade and A Grade — take the field at Kersbrook, all playing for a spot in the 2026 Grand Final! 💙

We are incredibly proud of what this club has achieved this season. To have every team still standing at this stage of the year is something pretty special and a huge testament to our players, coaches, volunteers, families and everyone who has played a part along the way.

But the job isn’t done yet! There’s still plenty of work to do and four huge games standing between us and the big dance.

We need the Raiders faithful out in force! Get to Kersbrook early, wear your blue and make some noise from the first bounce of the U14s right through to the A Grade.

LET’S DO THIS, RAIDERS! 💙
