The support of the local sponsors is testament to the community presence and strength the Culburra Cougars enjoy and the high regard the club is held in. In 2018 there are approximately 120 junior players ranging from under 6’s to 13 boys and girls sides. Although the junior sides possibly don’t have the depth of some of the larger clubs, all are extremely competitive sides and enjoy their games win, lose or draw. Sportsmanship and love of the game are just as important as the result. For the Cougars it’s not simply just about playing the game. It’s about playing the game in the right spirit and developing a lifelong love for football and for the community. This year there are also 80 senior players with 3 grades of senior men, ladies side and mens over 35’s of which all are hopeful of making the finals in their respective competitions. Culburra Cougars are the perfect example of what a football club truly represents. Pride in the individual. Passion for the jersey. Value for the team. Respect for the community. The Wollongong Wolves are proud to have the mighty Culburra Cougars as our local football team for this home match and have no doubt it won’t be too long in the future, before one of the young ones you see out on the ground today will be running out onto WIN Stadium – The Wolf Den as part of our first grade team.

ollongong Wolves host Sydney FC in a Wsalivating third versus fourth contest at WIN Stadium on Saturday evening, and there isn’t much to separate the two championship hopefuls. Both sides enter the encounter locked on 23 points with Wollongong edging ahead of the Sky Blues by one goal difference, thanks to a 1-0 victory over Rockdale last weekend. The Wolves have quietly been going about their business all season but have surged to premiership contention on the back of a sensational defensive run. The South Coast outfit has kept five clean sheets in their last seven fixtures and boasts the best defensive record in the competition. Wollongong have varied their approach this campaign to great effect, which holds them in great stead for the arrival of Sydney. The Sky Blues enter the clash bolstered by a 3-1 win over Sutherland Sharks last Saturday, a result that ranks as the side’s best result this season, and one that firmly places Sydney back in title contention. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Sydney’s win over the competition frontrunners was their organization and discipline at the back to deny Sutherland a route back into the match – the Sky Blues have leaked goals for fun at times this year and will need to carry in a similar approach to escape WIN Stadium victorious.
