🔴⚪ WELCOME BACK TO THE ROOSTERS, DAMIEN! 🔴⚪

We are thrilled to welcome back a former Rooster, Damien Stevens, who brings a wealth of coaching experience, leadership and success.

Damien’s football journey has included five premierships with Waikerie, six years as an Assistant Coach, four years as an Eastern Football League Zone Coach and multiple appointments coaching the Riverland A-Grade representative side. Most recently, he guided Hahndorf’s A-Grade team to a preliminary final in 2026.

“I’m extremely excited to be part of the Strathalbyn football club again. My family and I are looking forward to the challenges ahead and the opportunity to build on the hard work and strong foundations already established at the club.”

We are looking forward to the energy, standard, and guidance that Damien will bring to our senior playing group. Exciting times ahead for the club!

Stay tuned for upcoming announcements regarding pre-season training dates and a chance to meet the new coach.

Please join us in welcoming Damien, his wife Hayley, and lads Blake, Charlie, and Alfie in the comments below! 👇🐓

Congratulations to Scott Harding on taking part in his 5th AFL Masters Carnival!

Scott played with the Southlanders, a combined QLD/SA side in the 35/40 division, finishing an impressive 2nd overall after wins over NSW and Tasmania, only going down to a strong WA side by 17 points.

While many of us may remember Scotty as a crafty forward he spent the carnival up the other end putting that precision kicking to use at Full Back.

Well done also to fellow Strathalbyn local and Strathalbyn Cricket Club player Chris Hanley who competed for South Australia and was also awarded his 4th All Australian selection honour.

Well done to our man Isaac Birt on winning South Adelaide’s Best Club Man Award at tonight’s Knuckey Cup event.

Birty is a class act on and off the field and it’s great to see him having a strong season after a cruel run with injuries.
