Echunga won the grand final last year, member for Herbert, but this year, unfortunately for them they were not able to beat Kersbrook in what was a terrific game. This Saturday we will have the Hills Central League grand final. Malcolm Williams, the president of the Mount Barker Barkeroos in my home town, is very excited this week and wants the whole town to be blue and white in preparation for their grand final against Uraidla, who are going for their fourth premiership in a row. So the township of Uraidla is used to this grand final preparation, and I am sure Willy's Barkeroos are ready for the game. In the Great Southern Football League, the grand final is between Langhorne Creek, going for their second in a row, and Yankalilla. That will be also a great game. Langhorne Creek, I would imagine, start very warm favourites for that, given they are going for two in a row and they won the second semi quite well.

Over on KI, we have Parndana versus Dudley United, so it is a big weekend for local football. It is a great time to remember the importance of these local football clubs and local sporting clubs to their communities.
