The 2025 Hostplus SANFLW League Finals Series gets underway this Sunday, with a semi-final double-header at Maughn Thiem Kia Oval from 12pm.

Minor premiers Woodville-West Torrens will take on South Adelaide in the Second Semi Final 2 at 12pm, with the winner going straight through to the title-decider and the loser heading to the Preliminary Final.

The Eagles and South faced off twice in the minor round season, with the Panthers prevailing by four-points in Round 9, and the Eagles taking the points in Round 14, which also saw them jump South and finish on top of the ladder to claim their first SANFLW minor premiership.

It is also the first time Woodville-West Torrens have made the SANFLW finals, with both teams having plenty of young talent on display this weekend.

South will be looking to claim its fourth Hostplus SANFLW League premiership after winning back-to-back flags in 2018 and 2019 before saluting in 2024.

Interestingly, the Eagles and South have played each other the least number of times since the former joined the competition in 2019 – seven.

Third-placed North Adelaide will confront Sturt in the First Semi Final at 2pm, with the winner progressing to the Preliminary Final and the loser bowing out.

North and Sturt met twice during the season – North taking the win by five goals in Round 9 and Sturt in Round 14 by 35 points.

The Roosters will return to finals for the first time in three years, after claiming the 2022 premiership, with Sturt also looking to claim its maiden premiership after joining the league in 2018.
