Pennant Hills Demons is an Australian rules football club competing in the Sydney AFL Premier League and based out of the Sydney suburb of Pennant Hills. Their home ground moved from Ern Holmes Oval in April 2011 to Mike Kenny Oval

History

The club was formed in 1971. Pennant Hills were promoted to the top Sydney grade, the SFL (now Sydney AFL Premier Division) in 1977.

The club has won the Sydney Premier Division premiership 5 times.

Their first was won in 2000, when the Demons defeated North Shore 15.12 (102) to 12.7 (79) at Macquarie University.

Their second was in 2006, at Henson Park. The Demons scored eight behinds in a row to defeat the previously undefeated East Coast Eagles by two points. Pennant Hills 5.20 (50) East Coast Eagles 7.6 (48)

The third flag in 2008 again came against East Coast Eagles, with a record 104 point win also at Henson Park. Pennant Hills 20.12 (132) East Coast Eagles 3.10 (28)

The Demons won again in 2015 against the highly fancied East Coast Eagles Pennant Hills 14.5 (89) East Coast Eagles 7.12 (54). This was the third time the two clubs had played off in the final game of the season, with all three being played at Henson Park and all three going the way of the demons.

The most recent flag was in 2017 against the highly rated Sydney University side. The Demons finished in 5th place on the ladder in the regular season, and are the first club to win from that position, taking out the match by 6 points in a thrilling game at Blacktown International Sports park. Final score Sydney Uni 7.18 (60) to Pennant Hills 10.6 (66)

Notable players

The club produced Lenny Hayes, who played for the St Kilda Football Club in the Australian Football League. Mark McVeigh also played for Pennant Hills before being drafted by the Essendon Football Club, as well as his younger brother Jarrad McVeigh who was drafted by the Sydney Swans and co captained the club with Kieren Jack. Kieren's younger brother Brandon Jack was also recruited to play for the Sydney Swans.

Other Pennant Hills players to represent AFL clubs include David Brown (Sydney) Stefan Carey (Sydney/Brisbane), Adam Chatfield (Carlton) and Terry Thripp (Sydney).[1]

In 2008, Jarrad McVeigh won the Sydney Swans best and fairest award. He is the first player from a Sydney-based club to win the best and fairest at the Sydney Swans.

In 2010, Kieran Jack won the best and fairest at Sydney and Lenny Hayes won the best and fairest at St Kilda.[2]
