A Win at Last!
The Coober Pedy Saints Football Club won their first match since joining the Woomera and Districts Football League last year.
It was the first of this season's four home games at the Coober Pedy town oval.
They trounced Andamooka 16 - 21 to 7 - 10, doubling both the opponent's score and scoring shots.
This was after an eventful week in which AFL great Ron Barassi visited the town as part of the visit by the Oxiana mining company.
Oxiana is very likely to begin mining its Prominent Hill copper-gold deposit 120 km south of Coober Pedy in 2008 and has donated $50,000 towards the construction of a multi-purpose change-rooms at the oval, earning naming rights for five years - the oval will be called Oxiana Oval.
