Are you the owner of Barossa District Football Club?
The Barossa District Football Club (BDFC) was formed on the 7th November 1979 following the amalgamation of the Williamstown Rovers Football Club and the Lyndoch Football Club playing in the Gawler and District League. Williamstown Rovers were based at the Queen Victoria Jubilee Park at Williamstown operating out of a primitive pavilion. Lyndoch was based at Lyndoch Oval, sharing the ground with the Lyndoch Cricket Club and operating out of the ageing cricket clubrooms. The Williamstown strip was red, black, and white [Saints] and Lyndoch was blue and gold.
