Vale Keely Lockhart

It is with deep sadness that we honour the life of Club Legend today Keely Lockhart who passed in the early hours of the morning. The club is heartbroken by this loss. Having played her 50th game for the Club this year, Keely Lockhart became an indispensable member of the Heidelberg family as both a formidable striker in our Women’s Team and as a coach in our community girls’ program since she joined us at the end of 2019.

Keely had a profound impact on all our lives, both on and off the field. She was a mentor, a leader and a friend to each of us. Keely always put everyone around her first, always checking in with every player, parent and club member and she was frequently on the sidelines at junior girls matches cheering on and encouraging the players.

She was a true Heidelberg Warrior and put everything on the line week in week out for her team, her teammates and the Club.

We are all grieving together during this difficult time. If anyone needs immediate support, please contact:
