Redtails SANFL trail game with North Adelaide FC -26.02.2022
Our 10 young Redtails men (Deacon Braun, Jackson Cole, Kurt Abbott, Kynan Kenny, Lachlan Dunemann, Ross Green, Shane Dorizzie, Shaun Byrne, Shawn Foster and Tyson Woods) played in the North Adelaide Football Club intra club match at Thebarton oval and had nothing but positive feedback from Jacob Surjan NAFC A’s Senior coach.
Jacob Surjan came down to our accommodation at West Beach Parks to welcome the group and gave a brief address about the North Adelaide Football Club, with a guideline to what they would be looking out from them in the trial game. Nigel Lockyer Jr also joined the group offering support and advice to his fellow Redtails countrymen.
The intra trial match was played at high pace with plenty of physical footy, of which our lads coped with and got involved in the game when the opportunities arose.
They had their own Pinktails cheer squad supporting and encouraging them before they headed off to their games later that day. 
Standing: Ian, Shawn, Jackson, Ross, Nigel, Shane, Surj, Rob.
Kneeling: Darren, Kurt, Lachlan, Kynan, Tyson, Shaun, Deacon.

Our 3 U18 Redtails lads, Kaleel Ross, Ross Green and Shaun Byrne (pictured below with Darren Talbot and Dylan Barry) got a run on Saturday morning with SAFC.
All three lads made a positive impact at SAFC. Head coach Mark Clayton’s feedback was extremely positive.
Kaleel had an awesome debut for South Adelaide footy club kicking 3 goals and attempting ‘mark of the year’ in South Adelaide’s U18 trial match against Sturt.
Kaleel’s aerial flight at the ball had the crowd on their feet but unfortunately, he went up that high that at some stage he had to come back down and landed badly cracking his collar bone on impact. 
South Adelaide FC trial game – Saturday 19th March 2022
Dylan Barry & Kurt Abbott had a day out together playing for South Adelaide Football Club against Woodville West Torrens in the reserves win Saturday morning.
Both looking very comfortable at the level and both a major part of the win. Dylan delivering some fantastic long-range kicks to his team mates advantage resulting in goals and Kurt interceptions and burst of speed were just simply awesome to watch. 
Nigel Lockyer Jnr was the next game at Alberton Oval where North Adelaide took on Port Adelaide, the Roosters winning by 5 points. Nigel was up and about in the second half kicking 2 goals within two minutes, where he was positioned as a deep forward. Great feedback from one of North’s coaches today in Darren Reeves, who is looking forward to watching this young man in action during the season.
The Oxford North Adelaide – Thank you post 25.03.2022
A massive thank you to Kylie Campbellfor organising our new partner - The Oxford North Adelaide located at 101 O’Connell Street, Adelaide.
Kylie asked her cousin, Symon Conway the super chef at The Oxford if he would consider making some meals for the travel crew from our awesome program when they travel each week to Adelaide to play in the SANFLW & SANFL competitions.
The idea was to feed the crew on Friday nights, Symon pictured below with Kurt and Tyson, said “no worries love to support and be apart of this and I’ll go one better and supply dinner after the games on Saturday night as well”.
What an absolute legend. Thank you mob so much.
If or when any of you visit Adelaide, please go to The Oxford for dinner or lunch, it is absolutely sensational.

Kurt put on the South Adelaide Panthers footy jumper against Tyson Woods who will be put on the North Adelaide Roosters Guernsey. Kurt was named in the back pocket and Tyson named in the forward pocket.
What are the chances that they both make their debut’s on the same weekend in opposing sides, but just how awesome is it that they have been selected and given this incredible opportunity.
What a start in the SANFL these two young Centralian’s had. Both showed their brilliance at times.
At 3/4 time North trailed South 51 to 67. Kurt Abbott’s second and third quarters were brilliant. There was a period of play of about 12 min where he racked up 4 kicks 1 Mark and 3 handballs, setting up his team mates with his skills and explosive pace. North Adelaide Football Clubcame from behind to steal the win x 3 points.
Awesome stuff Kurt Abbott & Tyson Japanangka Woods. #embracethepassiondeveloptolead

How good.
Kurt Abbott was selected for his second SANFL Reserves game for the South Adelaide Football Club.
Kurt’s Panthers didn’t get the win but Kurt had a solid game in the South Adelaide no. 29 jumper, once he moved forward, kicking two goals straight and clocking up 7 kicks, 3 marks, 5 handballs and 3 tackles, finishing 7th for SAFC in the stats department.

RPRTP – SANFL – Round 7 - 20.05.2022
These two Centralian’s from our RPRTP program, got to go head-to-head today at Flinders University oval.
Kurt Abbott played mostly in the backline for South Adelaide FC racking up 10 disposals 2 tackles and a clearance. Gibson Turner played forward for the Glenelg FC booting 3goals 3 points for the game.
It was an awesome experience to see two young men who have been heavily involved in our programs over the years doing some amazing things on the field, but even better things off the field with their every day lives, such as their employment pathways and good health options mentally and physically.
Keep at it both of you, there were some exciting passages of play from both of you throughout today’s match. #embracethepassiondeveloptolead
