A huge day on Saturday at the Wel.Co Football Festival, held at the Mallala Oval.

Bringing together six clubs from across the region to compete for the Gracewood Cup, the festival was a celebration of local talent, sportsmanship and community pride. With a strong turnout of more than 600 people across the day, and teams representing multiple leagues and council areas, it created a unique regional rivalry and a great atmosphere both on and off the field.

A huge congratulations to Kapunda Football Club for taking out the day and taking home $6,000 in prize money, and to Pat Winter for being named Best Player of the tournament and receiving the Gracewood Medal.

Events like this are what community is all about. At Wel.Co, we are committed to creating places where people feel connected. That extends beyond the communities we deliver, to the partnerships we build, and the initiatives we support.

Through Gracewood Mallala and our involvement in the festival, we are proud to support grassroots sport and help bring people together around a shared passion.

Well done to all teams who competed, it was a great day of footy!
