If you're free to come along we are busy planning a club working bee and would love as many helpers as possible to come out and give the place a tidy‑up before next season’s trials kick off. ⚽🥰

The working bee will run across Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th September, with the following times:
🕒 Saturday 26th: 9am–1pm
🕒 Sunday 27th: 10am–3pm

We’ve got a big list of jobs we want to knock over, including organising offices, emptying and sorting the equipment room, organising gear, installing new storage cages, pressure washing the facility and grandstand, cleaning the kitchen, goal repairs, replenishing First Aid kits, receiving coaches’ bags, disposing of old balls, and washing bibs.

We’re also hoping to find someone with a ute or trailer who can help with a dump run, if you’re able to assist with that, please let us know.

Please bring gloves and any tools you think might help.
We’ll be running a BBQ on Sunday, so if you’re pitching in, we’ll make sure you’re fed while you work. We’re happy to organise everything for everyone coming out to help.

If you’re able to help out, please comment on this post or reach out to John Stuart & Sam Ferguson to confirm your availability or comment below / on your team chat and someone will reach out.

COMMUNITY MEN | PROMOTION

After the weekend results we are proud to announce that we have been promoted to Division 1 of the Collegiate Soccer League: South Australia for 2027.

This is a fantastic achievement and one that’s been just over 10 years in the making.

It’s been around a decade since Mt Barker United Collegiate last competed in Division 1 when we finished a respectable 3rd. However, after entering State League 2, the decision was made to step back and give the group time to rebuild after numerous players stepped up to the higher competition in State League.

Since then, we’ve navigated COVID, welcomed plenty of new players and made the move to the fantastic facilities at Summit Sport and Recreation Park - Football Centre.

There are also some familiar faces who have been part of the journey all along the way, and we wouldn't be here without them.

To the current squad and coaches congratulations on a well-earned promotion. The work, commitment and consistency throughout the season have paid off. There have been lots of highs, but also some lows but in the end it's a case of JOB WELL DONE.

Congratulations to Sturt Lions CSL on their promotion as well.

DIVISION 1, WE'RE BACK!

L–R: Jayden Miller, Jack Milton, Captain Sam Coldwell, Anthony Feijen, Kayne Stubing, Brad Bateman, Will Maddox, Vice Captain Jake Forrester, Coach Mark Newbery, Assistant Coach Thomas Holland, Manager Claire Richter.

Front row L–R: David Pienaar, Seb Rech, Dan McArthur, Owen Davies, Cory Gatenby, Ryan Ayling, Michael McGrath and Cadeau Bichengu.
