Sunbury United Football Club - History 

It all started in 1972 when four local men decided to form a soccer team in Sunbury – Sunbury United Football Club (SUFC).

Brought to Sunbury by a group of expatriate Europeans who wanted to play the game they grew up with, they began with friendly games played against various branches of the armed forces, visiting British merchant ships and on one occasion a Russian ship that docked in Melbourne. With no purpose build soccer pitches in Sunbury, the Club played its first two seasons on any available AFL ground.

SUFC joined the local competition in 1974 (what was then the Western District league) and stayed in this league for three seasons. For a newly formed club, and its record in its first year was exceptional.
In successive years, the club experienced a range of placings, with most notable being:

  • First place – Seniors (1974), Reserves (1976)
  • Second place – Seniors (1976)

In the first move of what now has become a long history of successful co-operation between the Club and the local council, arrangements were made to convert an old paddock into a soccer complex.
In August 1975, Sunbury United moved to its present home on seven and a half acres of sporting ground at Langama Park. Over the years, the ground has developed and there are now three senior and two junior soccer pitches, along with two cricket pitches and practice nets. 

Although there is still room for improvement to the floodlighting on the main pitch, night games have proven quite successful. SUFC has hosted a variety of visitors over its time, including State and National league clubs, senior and junior state squads and touring European teams. With the great availability of space, it has been possible to keep the main pitch in first class condition and minimise the risk of injury to players.

Since 1977, when Sunbury was promoted from the Western District league to the Provisional league division 2, the Clubs success has been quite remarkable. The first team finished top in 1978, second in 1981.

In the major league restructuring of 1983/1984, the Clubs 10th year received a promotion jump from Metro three to Metro one, in that period the reserve squads ability to support the firsts gained one top position and two third spots in their leagues.

Sunbury United Rugby League Club History 

The Club was originally formed by Ted and Maureen Riley after they viewed a Rugby League International game between Australia and New Zealand at Olympic Park in 1991. This left them wondering if Rugby League could take off in the Victorian township of Sunbury. They then placed an advertisement in the local paper looking for other interested parties and on 17th September 1991 the first meeting of the Club was held with 26 members.

The members originally applied to the Victorian Rugby League for membership in 1991 but could not afford the entry fee to begin a club so had to wait until 1992 when the club became officially formed. It commenced its playing in what was known as the Rebel league and in 1994 began with one senior reserve grade team in the VRL competition. In 1995, the club started its first-grade team and 6 junior teams.

Since 1992 and including 2016, the club has gone on to register a total of 613 senior players.

The club (known then as the Sunbury Cougars) played in their first, First Grade grand final in 2000, and suffered a defeat at the hands of St Kilda. Many Sunbury locals were members of that grand final side with the community really getting behind the club's sudden rise under coach Richard Puke.

The Tigers won their first premiership in 2009, beating Casey Sharks 48-18 in the VRL grand final 2011 saw the Tigers win their second premiership in three years against the North West Wolves in overtime 32-26. In 2013 they won their 3rd grand final against Altona Roosters 36-16 and in 2014, won their fourth against a revamped Casey Warriors 48-16. At this stage the Sunbury Tigers have won four of the last eight premierships and may claim to be the current powerhouse of Victorian Rugby League as the Altona Roosters and St Kilda Saints were before them.

In the 2016 season, the junior and senior clubs merged into one body, retaining the name Sunbury United Rugby League Club inc. The Club is run by President Tony Gould and his Committee.

The Sunbury United Rugby League Club is a rugby league team based in Sunbury, Victoria, Australia.

Following are players that went on to play professional first grade rugby league.

  • Ty Watson -1997 Western Reds Super League
  • Matt Constantinou - 2012 Melbourne Storm U20
  • Herschel Gideon - 2013 and 2014 Melbourne Storm U20
  • Dean Leremia - 2020 Melbourne Storm nines
