History

The Jamberoo Superoos started life like many other clubs in the area as a Rugby Union team,[1] with players deciding to make the switch in 1913. Eight local clubs created the first South Coast tournament in 1914 of which Jamberoo was apart. The Superoos first ever game was against Kangaroo Valley on May 30, 1914. Jamberoo won the game 3-0.[2] The following year the side won the first of their eight premierships[1] before the tournament's hiatus due to World War I. They won their next premiership in 1927 and in doing so played in the first ever championship between the premiers of the Illawarra and South Coast competitions. The Superoos defeated Port Kembla 15-11[2] and thus were hailed the best team of the region. Jamberoo won two more premiership (1931 and 1932) in the middle of the newly merged Kiama-Bombo premierships of 1930 and 1933. The Superoos wouldn't win another premiership until 1951. The last premiership they won was in 1974.

The club went through some tough periods out of first grade. They made a short-lived comeback in 1988 and 1989 before departing first grade competition for almost twenty years.

Return to First Grade (2009-)

The Jamberoo Superoos returned to Group 7 Rugby League First Grade in 2009 with the intention of being competitive after making the grand final and semi-final in 2007 and 2008 in Reserve Grade. The club attracted some experienced players from other teams to combine with local youngsters.[3]
