Oberon United Football Club

What a fantastic day hosting the first round of juniors at home. The atmosphere around the grounds was brilliant, with great energy from players, families, and supporters all day long. A huge shoutout to our canteen crew who absolutely smashed it - it was one of their biggest days and they kept everything running smoothly from start to finish. On the field, our Under 13's showed plenty of effort and determination, even though they didn't come away with the win this time. Plenty to build on as the season gets underway. Our women's team had a strong performance, securing a great 4- 2 win against CSU - a well-deserved result after a solid team effort. Our men's team had the bye this round and will be ready to hit the ground running next week. Thanks to everyone who contributed to making the day such a success - it's a great sign of what's to come this season.

Wolf of the Week

A big congratulations to all of our "Wolf of the Week" recipients - our Players of the Week who stood out with their effort, teamwork, and positive attitude on and off the field. Each week, this award recognises juniors who give their all, support their teammates, and represent our club with pride. It’s not just about goals or results, but the determination, sportsmanship, and growth shown every time they step onto the pitch. We’re incredibly proud of all our young Wolves - keep up the great work!

Oberon Netball Club Announcement

A huge shoutout to our U12 and U16 girls! While they didn't come away with the win, they played absolutely amazing games. This was the first time many of these girls have played together - and for some, their very first time playing netball at all - which makes their effort even more impressive. The teamwork, determination, and positive attitude shown on the court was something to be really proud of. The future is looking bright for Oberon Netball Club!
