Leeming Strikers (ex-Alemannia) who are German roots


Historically Leeming Strikers can indeed be linked to the old Melville Alemannia, but only after a lot of mergers/demergers/renamings over the years. There's not actually any German connection these days.

On top of that, Leeming Strikers left the state amateur league at the end of 2014 (although I believe they still had Masters & Womens teams).
In 2017, North Lake Espanol's Amateur Premier team moved and renamed themselves to Leeming Strikers, which is why Leeming's history goes;
2012 - Amateur 4th division (winners)
2013 - Amateur 3rd division (last)
2014 - Amateur 5th division (6th)
2015 - Not in competition
2016 - Not in competition
2017 - Amateur Premier division (5th)

So Leeming also has a Spanish connection which would be stronger than any German connection.

Defunct - Bondi United (Russian and Ukranians) 

Defunct - Lidcombe Eagles/United/Something like that (Russian and Ukranians)

The first ever Russian club was located in North Queensland, now defunct but I do not know the name, found it the NSW state library many years ago researching. 

Could only find this photo of Bondi United - https://scontent.fsyd3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.18172-8/461216_188328534609456_443600473_o.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=09cbfe&_nc_ohc=LOK5C21G8mYAX8tgryu&_nc_ht=scontent.fsyd3-1.fna&oh=3983ca2f868666c1478d4a322892d986&oe=615C3BB9
