Presidents Message
Our club is one of the most iconic sporting clubs in Gawler, South Australia. We founded in 1889 by the working-class hands of those in North Para River clay pits.
Our club still holds strong working-class values through its supporter and membership base. Many volunteers, sponsors and members of the community provide time, effort and support to make Willaston Football Club a successful community organisation. Now a part of the Barossa, Light and Gawler Football Association (BLGFA), Willaston Football Club has experienced premiership success throughout our history, including winning our 23rd Senior Premiership and our 12th Reserves Premiership last season, breaking a 39-year drought of winning the double Premiership for the club. We value our junior development and Womenβs Football program and we have had recent success in this area. Our U17Β½ teams won premierships in 2014, 2016, 2018 & 2022and U15 won in 2017, 2022 & 2023. Our Senior Womenβs playing in six Grand Finals in arow winning 2020 & 2022 also our U13s girlβs winning their first premiership in 2023. Our club has also seen many of its players establish successful football careers as we have had a strong number of players experience SANFL football as well as some lucky enough to make careers in the AFL/ AFLW system. Season 2023 our first ever BLGW player to play AFLW our very own Caitlin Wendland. In 2025, we look to grow upon our success. Particularly, the club looks to increase playing membership, right through from U9s to the senior teams. The growth of womenβs football has seen us field increased team sizes for U10, U13 , U16 and senior team. We alsoaim to continue to foster and grow our successful partnership with our affiliate clubs βWillaston Netball Club, Willaston Cricket Club and the Willaston Country and Music Club. This year has been a very successful year in all areas of our football club as we have maintained our good club structure which enables us to set achievable goals moving forward, our goals are: Willaston Football Club to win our 25th Senior A Grade Premiership within 5 years.To continue to grow and develop our junior grades from U9s to U17 Β½ including womenβs football. Infrastructure improvements, eg. We have completed one of our many goals, New LED Oval Lights, now we are focusing on a brand new precinct which includes new unisex changerooms, clubrooms & new netball courts through government grants and calibrating closely with the Town of Gawler as a working group has been formed with the Town of Gawler. These are just some of many goals which we have set and are continuing to achieve through our journey as a club, with your generous support and our club structures in place I’m very confident that the Donnybrooks will achieve the goals we strive for in the future moving forward.
Thank you for your generosity & support for season 2025.
