Finals fever hits 2024 APM SANFL Inclusive League

By ZAC MILBANK

The business end of the APM SANFL Inclusive League has arrived with two blockbusters scheduled for this Saturday evening.

Undefeated Athelstone – boasting an impressive 12-0 win-loss record – will host the second-placed Kilburn in the Second Semi-Final at Max Amber Sportsfield from 4.45pm.

The top-placed Raggies – who were runners-up in 2023 – have the opportunity to advance straight to the Grand Final with a victory, with the APM SANFL Inclusive League Grand Final to be played on Saturday August 24.

But the Chics will be aiming to rekindle their glory days, when they secured consecutive premierships from 2014 to 2016.

Third-placed Kenilworth will look to make the most of its home-ground advantage in the First Semi-Final against Goodwood Saints at St Mary’s Park from 4.45pm.

Just one win separated the Kookaburras and the Saints at the end of the minor round, pointing to it being a very even contest.

The winner will advance to next Saturday’s Preliminary Final while the loser will have its 2024 campaign brought to an end.
