Summer might not have officially started but that hasn't stopped Hermannsburg from starting the Western Aranda Summer football competitions for 2009/10.
Last week, Hermannsburg begun a 6-team Senior AFL competition and a 4-team Under 14 junior AFL competition.
The 6 senior sides are; 1. Eastside Tigers. 2. Sandhill Lions. 3. Areyonga Tigers. 4. Bunny Hill. 5. Korpoyilya Bulldogs 6. Ulpunda Bulldogs
The 4 junior sides are; 1. Lions 2. Bulldogs 3. Bombers 4. Hawks
The summer competitions are community driven, with assistance from AFLNT and AFLCA. AFLNT RDM Michael Russell has been instrumental in setting up the junior competition and has also been assisting local community members with the coordination of the Senior compettiion. Hermannsburg Senior Football Coach Lloyd Spencer is just one of a number of key local community members that are coordinating the football competitions. The competitions are being used as a diversion program for young men in the community who often resort to substance abuse once the football season is over. The junior competition is being used as an incentive for school attendance and behaviour, as well as providing part-time employment and training opportunities for young men in the community who wish to have an involvement in coaching, umpiring, organising, etc.
In another boost for AFL in Hermannsburg, Magellan Petroleum last week confirmed they will continue to sponsor the Hermannsburg Football Club in the 2009 and 2010 CAFL competition.
After 52 games among 16 teams from right across the Territory the Central Australian team were the powerhouse of the competition, however newcomers to this years Defence Jobs AFL Carnival, Galiwinku, pushed them right to the end.
Final Scores in the Grand Final were:
Stanta Teresa 7.5 - 47 v Galiwinku 6.3 - 39

Central Australian football star Liam Jurrah has been awarded the Round 15 AFL Rising Stars nomination after staring with four goals for Melbourne in their win over Port Adelaide on the weekend.
Hailing from the Central Australia community of Yuendumu, Jurrah was taken number 1 in the AFL Pre-Season draft and has lit the football world alight since his debut in Round 12 this year against Essendon. His incredible pace and athleticism, coupled with his natural instincts and flair for attacking football, has already made him a cult hero with the Demons faithful. He has already showed glimpses of his spectactular vertical leap with some huge packmarks and has shown his nouse around goal with 7 goals in just his first 3 games.
Jurrah last year spent four weeks playing for the Collingwood VFL side last year before returning to Central Australia to lead Yuendumu to a historic premiership in the 2008 Ngurratjuta Cup. Jurrah also spent a short time playing for Nightcliff in the TIO NTFL competition in Darwin.
