Cronulla-Caringbah Sharks Junior Rugby League Football Club

[pandapat]

With Iron getting the ball rolling with junior clubs, id thought id do one on my childhood club who i spent numerous years with, the mighty black-cats, Cronulla-Caringbah Sharks.

Cronulla Sutherland District Junior Rugby League Club Cronulla Caringbah Sharks Junior Rugby League Football Club was formed in 1952 and was one of the foundation clubs when the Cronulla Sutherland Junior League was formed in 1963. In 1964 Cronulla Caringbah's A-Grade side was accepted into the Second Division competition and in 1967 accepted into Rugby League First Division.

Due to the success of the Junior League within the shire it was decided that it would be in the best interest of Rugby League to enter this team as Cronulla-Sutherland. The "Sharks" we know today were born, the only First Grade team to originate from a Junior Club.

Players bred by Cronulla Caringbah who went on to don the Sharks first grade jersey:

-Russel Aitken
-Les Bell
-Paul Bishop
-Rick Bourke
-Harry Bryant
-David Chamberlin
-Glenn Coleman
-Andrew Dallalana
