17.01.2022 Afternoon cowboys family, We as a committee have come to the decision that we are not going ahead with our non-competition age groups for season 2020.

To resume hopefully under better circumstances in season 2021... Only our competition teams will be moving forward with this season. Any expressions of interest for 13yrs and over to be sent to our cowboys email address: [email protected] We are also doing background work behind the scenes, we will be apply for EOI for More Park so we can have a permanent foundation. We would like to thank all of our supporters and ask them to be patient with us and we hope that the families will continue to support us. There are still training and club attendance restrictions in place that will need to be adhered to moving forward. Thank you for your support an understanding. We look forward to seeing everyone next season. Your Sunshine Cowboys committee.
