*In addition, another match for premiership points not played in Adelaide was Norwood/North in 1953 at the SCG.

I would like to get the exact title of these grounds, too. I'm pretty sure that Johnstone Park was not the oval used in other occasions that Murray Bridge has hosted a match.

The other oval in Murray Bridge is Le Messurier.

That was the original oval that both local MB clubs used, then one of the clubs (Imperials) moved to Johnstone Park. I'm not sure without looking into it further what year they changed to the new oval.

I reckon I can remember going to that game, Port played in it, but can't remember the opposition, perhaps Sturt or South. I seem to recall it was a pre season game?
