Thirroul Junior Football Club has more than 400 juniors in teams from Under 6s to Under 18s. The club's aim is to foster football by creating an environment for our Thunderbolts players where success is judged - not by winning - but by having fun, improving skills and participating in a club that is active within the community.
Thirroul JFC has more than 600 players from Under 6s to Senior Men's and Women's teams. The club's aim is to foster football by creating an environment for our Thunderbolts players where success is judged - not by winning - but by having fun, improving skills and participating in a club that is active within the community.
Thirroul JFC is saddened by the tragic passing of one of our players, Antony Stott, during a match at Gibson Park today.
Antony, 26, was a member of the Thunder team which played in the Community League Division 2 competition.
The club passes on its deepest sympathies to Antony's family, team-mates and friends.
Thirroul JFC would also like to express our gratitude to the players and committee members who attended very professionally to him at the field.
Thirroul Junior Football Club is pleased to announce that the club has secured a grant of $37,015 from Wollongong City Council for drainage works at Gibson Park.
This is much welcome news as it will enable Thirroul JFC to install a slit drainage system on both of the club's full size pitches after previously securing a $35,000 grant from the NSW Government's Community Building Partnership program through Member of Keira, Ryan Park.
It is hoped that this work can be completed during the off-season and will minimise the number of times Thirroul's junior and senior teams are unable to play or train at Gibson Park in coming seasons.
Thirroul JFC would like to thank Wollongong City Council for this significant funding decision, which will benefit the club's 500 registered players and other users of Gibson Park.
Council have opened the grounds for training this afternoon.
The areas marked in Red are still no go areas, so be creative and share nicely. Be mindful of the impact you have on the playing surface.
Gibson Park is closed today (Tuesday 21st June). Please keep off the fields.
Thank you
THURSDAY 9th June, Council have opened the grounds for training but the areas marked in RED are OUT. Stop your Coach or Manager if they try to go in these areas. PLEASE be careful in all areas that are on a playing field. THANK YOU.
