Welcome to Southerners Sporting Club Inc
Southerners is the local Hopetoun sporting club which coordinates football, netball and womens hockey for the
community from April through to August. These sports are
offered to seniors and juniors.
Our club is part of the Ravensthorpe and Districts Winter
Sports Association. This includes the townships of Hopetoun,
Ravensthorpe (Tigers) and Lake King (Lakes).
Our mascot is the SHARK and our colours are royal blue and
white.
All matches are played on Saturdays. Each town/club has 5
home games, 5 away games and 5 byes over the season. We
travel to either Ravensthorpe (50kms) or Lake King (140kms)
for our away games. See the fixtures card provided for dates
and details.
An entry fee of $5 to each sporting ground on each game day
($10 for finals) is expected to be paid by all players and
spectators over 16. These entry fees help to cover umpire
costs.
Southerners also organise the annual Southerners Fishing
Competition held every Easter, Cow Paddy day and numerous
other social events through out the season. They are all
organised for fundraising purposes. A presentation night is
held in September for all current and life members to celebrate
the season and to announce player awards.
