Brothers Junior Rugby League Club is a non-denominational Club, with players registering from throughout the local area and community, coming from a wide variety of backgrounds.

St Dominic’s College initially entered teams into the Penrith District Junior Rugby League competition in the early 60’s, and subsequently St Dominic’s J.R.L.C. was formed in 1968, as a separate body from the College.  This was done by a group of Rugby League enthusiasts, (mainly parents of boys attending the College), with the driving force coming from Mr. Harry Slaughter and Mr. John Hasler, (father of Des Hasler).  

From its humble beginnings, when the Club entered 4 teams in the 1968 season, St Dominic’s has now grown to be one of the largest junior rugby league clubs in the Penrith district; and in fact one of the largest junior rugby league clubs in the world. In 2003 the Club changed it name from St Dominic’s Junior Rugby League Club to Brothers Penrith Junior Rugby League Club Incorporated,  In the 2021 season had 44 sides entered in the district, with these sides ranging from under 6’s up to Open Men, additionally Brothers entered 1 team in NSWRL Major Competitions being Sydney Shield.

The Brothers Club is not only large, but it is also very competitive in all age divisions; with sides entered in First Division in every age group in season 2021.  However, the Club has not lost sight that in junior sport, all ability levels need to be catered for, and it is part of our stated philosophy that one of the Club’s main aims is for its juniors, both male and female, to enjoy their sport – at the level at which they participate.
