SA Amateur Football Division Standings

The tied top position for Athelstone and Tea Tree Gully after 17 games played shows consistent results that rely on regular access to training and match venues. Elizabeth’s clean record of 16 wins and 0 losses further illustrates how sustained preparation on local grounds contributes to dominance in its division.

Results in Ice Hockey and Other Codes

In the AIHL, Adelaide Adrenaline hold 17 points from 20 games with 5 wins and 13 losses, while IceMIC leads nationally on 55 points. The AUSL table shows Talons on 14 points from 7 wins and Bandits on 13 points as of July 15 2026. In the Adelaide Footy League, Port District holds the Division 1 premiership, a title it also claimed in 2024.

Supporting Infrastructure for Amateur Sport

These standings emerge from ongoing use of Adelaide’s network of community ovals, rinks and multi-purpose grounds that enable regular training and competition. The ability of multiple teams to maintain high win rates and points totals reflects the availability of suitable facilities that accommodate both established clubs and developing sides throughout the season. Without consistent access to such venues, sustaining the level of play seen in the current tables would prove more difficult.
