Gumeracha confirmed their dynasty in the Hills Football League’s Country Division, while the remaining men’s grand finals are now locked in after three intriguing preliminary finals. Catch up on all the action here:
HILLS FOOTBALL LEAGUE (Division One results here, Country Division results here)
Gumeracha has cemented their legacy with a third straight premiership by beating Kangarilla by 20 points in Macclesfield on Saturday.
Star magpie Sam Hanna was named best on ground for the historic win, marking the first time since Meadows 20 years ago that a team in the Country Division has won three flags in a row.
In Division One, a highly anticipated rematch of last year’s grand final is now set, after Nairne Bremer beat Mount Lofty by 29 points in Saturday’s preliminary final.
The defending champion Rams kicked away in the final quarter to keep their title defence alive, meaning they will now face Hahndorf next week in the decider.
RIVER MURRAY FOOTBALL LEAGUE (full results here)
Mypolonga have secured their place in their second straight River Murray footy grand final, after a dramatic five-point win over Imperial in Tintinara on Saturday in the prelim final.
The Tigers were forced to come from behind at three quarter time in a see-sawing contest, with Mypolonga kicking four goals to two in the last to secure a huge victory for the club.
It means Mypolonga will face the undefeated minor premier Coorong Cats in the grand final next week in Mannum.
GREAT SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE (full results here)
McLaren Districts’ quest for a three-peat in the Great Southern has been ended early, with Myponga-Sellicks advancing to the grand final instead after a 47-point win on Saturday.
The Mudlarks lead from the outset to comfortably book their place in the finale, with Luke Whitford, Anthony Kempster and Ben Kennedy leading the way.
Next week’s grand final will end a long premiership drought for one of the sides involved, with Myponga-Sellicks not having won since 1984 while minor premiers Victor Harbor haven’t won since 1999.
