Lived in Woomera for 4 years and remember this game quite well.
The JDSCS team as they were known was basically made up of American servicemen that worked at the Nurrunga military base that was located just outside Woomera. They often got flogged and to my memory i think they won only one game in the time i lived there. It was against the Woomera Village club and that was only because Village had about 14 or 15 players, i think the yanks won by about 7 goals.
Used to a good comp up there in the eighties, in Woomera the teams were Central, Village, Koolymilka and JDSCS with Roxby and Olympic Dam. There used to be one game played Friday night and two on the Saturday. I dont think Woomera have a team anymore...please correct if im wrong, once the Americans left the towns population really plummeted.
no team in woomera anymore. five teams up there now olympic dam, roxby districts, andamooka, hornridge and coober pedy
