The Group 7 Jamberoo Rugby League Club (RLC) have officially got a new name, the Jamberoo Golden Valley Superoos. The announcement comes alongside the introduction of their 2025 inaugural sponsor: the developers behind the Golden Valley subdivision.

Jennifer Macquarie, Director of the Fountaindale Group, the developers of the Golden Valley  subdivision, says the partnership with the club is an honour and a great opportunity for both parties.

“We’re very excited to be doing this because we know that clubs like this are the backbone of small towns,” says Macquarie. 

“This subdivision will bring 50 new families to Jamberoo, and what better way for them to integrate into the community than by getting involved with and joining the football club?”

Trevor Dallas, President of the Jamberoo RLC, describes the partnership as a significant financial relief for the club, adding that it strengthens the connection with the community.

“As a small community trying to field a first-grade side, there’s a lot of pressure. There are cost constraints, and having the Fountaindale Group on board to support us really gives us a vote of confidence. It’s reassuring to know that the community is behind us and wants to see us succeed,” says Dallas.

Jamberoo has produced a number of outstanding rugby league players over the years, but Dallas acknowledges that, due to the town’s size, the club must rely on recruiting players from outside the area—something that can be financially challenging. The new sponsorship will help address this.

“While we’ve been fortunate to have junior players progress to higher levels, we’re a club that needs to bring in outside players to remain competitive, and that’s costly,” says Dallas.

David Hall, Vice President of the club, highlights that the new subdivision will not only bring in new families but also new contributors to the club, helping to sustain its growth.

“This is great for both groups – Fountaindale and us. They’re bringing more people into Jamberoo, which means more potential supporters and contributors to our club, and that’s something we really appreciate,” says Hall.

Macquarie agrees, adding, “We hope to deliver new young players, volunteers, and bring a fresh energy to the community.”

After a challenging 2024 season, where the team secured only two wins, the Jamberoo Golden Valley Superoos are optimistic about the 2025 season. With a number of new players already signed, Dallas is confident the squad will be much stronger.

“We’re shaping up pretty well so far. It was a tough year last year – our long-term coach retired, and we lost a lot of players. But this year, the same coach is back after 12 months of preparation, and Jono Dallas is coaching alongside him. We’ve got a competitive squad, so we’re feeling pretty confident,” says Dallas.

The Jamberoo Golden Valley Superoos will wear jerseys and club apparel featuring the Golden Valley logo, and their clubhouse will also be known as the Golden Valley Clubhouse.
