A Snap-shot of our History
We are a welcoming, family orientated club and looking forward to growing with our girls and boys through the sport of rugby league.
The South Perth Rugby League Junior Club commenced in 1978. In the late Seventies, Gordon and Pauline Dixon set a plan in motion to rebirth the South Perth Juniors, all the ground work and preparation, such as a committee, coaches and putting the word out in the community took place over an eighteen-month period.
The setting up of the Junior club was, and still is a major part of the South Perth club. Thanks to Gordon & Pauline’s efforts it continues to provide local talent coming into today’s grade football. In the early years of rebuilding the juniors, Gordon had great helpers from people like the McGoldrick’s, Bobby & Carolyn Tanner, Collis’s, Dobby Donnelly, David & Phyllis Saunders, the Press family.
The South Perth Lion Juniors have been NRL WA Club Champions over the years in:
2001, 2003, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2020.
