2025 SANFL Junior Finals: Watch U14-U18 grand finals live
The SANFL Juniors 2025 season has come to a close, with teams competing for premiership glory across the under-14 to under-18 divisions. Watch replays from the 19 games here.
Jacob Burton has guided the Henley Sharks to incredible grand final boilover over Port District on the back of a match-winning goal in the dying moments of the SANFL under-17.5 years premiership decider.
The Sharks had lost just two games throughout the entire 2025 season going into the grand final, both against Port District who went into the game as favourites.
Henley got an early jump on Port and took a seven point lead into the first break before Port took control.
Port looked set to clinch the premiership after leading throughout the entire game but with around two minutes left on the clock in the fourth quarter Burton pounched on a ground ball and kicked it home from 35m out as Henley sealed the 5.8 (38) to 5.7 (37) win on Sunday.
Sharks player Wil Fiegert was named best on ground.
Meanwhile, A five-goal last quarter has lifted Brighton Bombers Black to a 20-point victory over a tiring Walkerville Cats to claim the boys under-15.5 Division 1 premiership at SANFL Junior playoffs in Adelaide.
Trailing by 13 points at the last change, the Bombers had too much firepower when it counted as the Cats came to a standstill and were held scoreless for the term.
It was a stunning turnaround after Walkerville clearly won the second and third quarters, kicking six goals to one to build what appeared a match-winning lead at Stratarama Stadium.
But the resurgent Bombers has other ideas as the flipped the contest for a thoroughly deserved victory.
Earlier, Port District held off a fast-finishing Plympton Bulldogs to win the girls under-16 Division 1 premiership by six points.
With a 13-point lead at the three-quarter-time, Port seemingly had the contest in their grasp before the Cats rallied for one last effort.
A goal tightened up the contest and the Cats were deep in their territory and making genuine headway when the siren sounded, much to their disappointment.
All of Sunday’s action - 19 grand finals across five fields - was exclusively streamed by KommunityTV.

“The 2025 season has been a resounding success for the SANFL Juniors competition,” SANFL Juniors Competition and Pathways Manager Oliver Graham said.
“With over 4,500 fixtures played and nearly 700 teams comprising more than 12,000 players, SANFL Juniors is proud to be one of the largest junior sporting competitions.”
It’s been a season of change in the SANFL Juniors, with the use of smaller ovals and a reduced 16-player sides in the under-12 competition, while the under-16 division was replaced with the under-15.5.
Graham believes the slight change has improved overall match quality, game flow and greater player retention across the two competitions and was thrilled to once again have KTV on board.
“Having matches live streamed via KommunityTV provides our players with an elevated experience,” he said.
“This opportunity allows for families to watch matches, as well as players to review the ‘hangers’ and great pieces of play in which they were involved in after the match.”
