Northern Demons engage Moonta, Yorke Peninsula

Football Federation SA (FFSA) Clubs and Associations are coming together in regional SA, starting with Northern Demons and Moonta in the Yorke Peninsula.

Taking advantage of a Bye in Round 7 of the FFSA Junior Premier League (JPL), Northern Demons U15’s travelled to Moonta Area School to take on an Under 17 Yorke Peninsula side in a friendly match.

The game was played in excellent conditions, with perfect weather and a good surface – a credit to the Yorke Peninsula Association.

Unlike the Northern Demons side who are a third of the way through their season, the Yorke Peninsula team are currently beginning their season. The team have made notable strides in the format of their game over the past couple of years and the match was played competitively and in good spirit. Northern Demons  who currently sit second in the third tier of the Junior Premier League, found that their fitness levels contributed greatly towards the end of the match that finished at 9-0.

Northern Demons U15 Coach Steve Garden told that the club are strong supporters of regional football and providing pathways for players.

 “At Northern Demons we see ourselves as a pathway for any player wishing to progress further in their footballing that lives in country South Australia, north of Adelaide.

“The Under 15’s have players from far and wide. Whilst based at Port Pirie, players travel from as far as Whyalla and Jamestown; the under 14’s boast a player from Ardrossan.

“The chance to play down on the Yorke Peninsula offers us the opportunity to look at players from that area and vice versa, for players of all areas to be aware of the pathway open to them.”

The match between the Port Pirie club and Yorke Peninsula side is just the beginning of a quickly blossoming relationship between the regions.  In Round 11 of the FFSA JPL the U15 Northern Demons will again travel to play at the Moonta Area School against Eastern United.

Additionally, the Round 16 State League fixture between Northern Demons and Adelaide Victory will be played in Moonta on Saturday 30 May at the Moonta Football Club with a full day of football action for locals to enjoy.
