There’s some exciting sporting news for the local community, with Gregory Hills Football Club set to launch as a new club in the Macarthur District competition in 2020.

The newly formed club was set up this year, with the anticipated first games kicking off next year. Gregory Hills FC’s home ground will be Cunningham Park in Gregory Hills.

“We have had significant interest from a number of individuals and teams, though at this time we are planning on limiting numbers in our first season. We’ll be focussing on players ranging from the Under 6’s to the Under 11’s to set a strong foundation for the club to grow and also not to over extend the volunteers that will be guiding the club throughout it’s first year” explained Gregory Hills FC’s Christopher Martin to the Oran Park Gazette.

“Many of us have children that already participate in the beautiful game around the area. We hope that every child that comes can enjoy the same benefits the game has given our own children – be it a healthier lifestyle, social aspects or simply greater confidence in themselves” he added.

If you would like to get involved with the club in any way, you can visit their website and register your interest there.

Alternatively, you can also send them a message on their Facebook page where they can assist with any queries.

“We would love to talk to any businesses in the area that are interested in sponsorship of the club. We have had a couple of interested parties come forward and have been working with them to develop packages to help build long-term partnerships for future seasons” ended Christopher.
