Sunday 31 August 2025 was grand final day in the South Australian National Football League junior competition. I am very pleased to report that the Glenunga Rams, located at Webb Oval in the electorate of Sturt, emerged as big winners, taking out the under-14 girls division 1 title and the under-12 girls division 1 flag. Firstly, the under-14 girls went back to back in a runaway 28-point victory over Marion. Kicking six goals and eight behinds, for a total 44, the team dominated right from the first whistle. Then the under-12 girls claimed the flag with a 20-6 victory over their fierce rivals, the Goodwood Saints. The success at the junior level followed the Glenunga Rams senior women's side, who took out the Adelaide Football League division 4 premiership with a 44-15 victory over the Modbury Hawks on 16 August 2025. To say that women's footy is thriving at the Glenunga Rams would be an understatement.

I congratulate the coaches, umpires, parents, administrators, snack providers and other volunteers on what was an overwhelmingly successful day for the Glenunga Rams junior girls program, and I offer an even bigger congratulations to the players on their victory. There is nothing better than participating in a team sport, especially when you win a flag. Congratulations, players.
