Australian Football

Yeundemu was one of seven clubs from indigenous Australian settlements to affiliate with AFL Central Australia in 2008. The Magpies wasted no time in establishing themselves as they claimed a premiership in their debut season, accounting for Pioneers in the grand final by 4 goals, 15.11 (101) to 11.11 (77). Subsequent seasons saw the league dividing into a Premier Division contested by the traditional, Alice Springs-based clubs, and two Country Divisions, in which Yeundemu along with the other indigenous clubs participated. The Magpies won a Country Division One premiership in 2015 when they overcame Ti Tree in the grand final by 17 points. The 2016 season brought a decline in fortunes as the side managed just a solitary win in 8 matches, a result which consigned it to fifth and last place. A year later Yuendumu again finished fifth but avoided the wooden spoon on this occasion as there were now six clubs in the competition.
