Flagstaff Hill has made history with a sixth consecutive ‘A’ grade premiership in the Southern Football League (SFL) following their comprehensive 66-point win against Morphett Vale on Saturday. The Falcons joined Aldinga (1927-1932) in the ‘six-in-a-row’ club. Willunga actually won seven flags in a row between 1897 and 1904, with their run split into two halves when the competition went into recess in 1900.

Back to Saturday, where the Falcons continued their dominance of the SFL as they led by 13 points at quarter time, 41 points at halftime and 50 points at the last change before winning 12.11 (83) to 2.5 (17). As they have all season, Flagstaff Hill shared the goals around with eight different goalkickers including Daniel Butcher (3), Mitchell Johnson (2) and Ryan Mountford (2). Jack Dal Santo and Daniel Noble were the goalkickers for Morphett Vale. Mitchell Johnson was adjudged best on ground for ‘Flaggies’ and he was well supported by Sam Tharaldsen, Matthew Walton, David Kearsley, Andrew Shearer and Tynan Carney. The Emus were best served by Dal Santo, Connor Lock, Daniel Bode, Bodie Sowter, Jake Dorshorst and Aiden Baker. Congratulations to Flagstaff Hill on an amazing achievement and well done to Morphett Vale, who won three finals on the trot to make it to the decider.

In other grades, Noarlunga reversed last season’s result in the ‘B’ grade to defeat Flagstaff Hill by 19 points with Beau Donaldson adjudged best on ground. Reynella had a huge day in the juniors as they won all three grades starting with their under 13’s defeating Port Noarlunga by 34 points to complete an undefeated season. Reynella won a thrilling under 15’s decider by a point against Flagstaff Hill, while the Wine Flies completed the hat trick in the under 17.5's with a 12-point victory, also against the Falcons.
