TheShellharbour City Dragons are an Australianrugby league football club based in theShellharbour, New South Wales. They currently are not competing in any competitions and formerly competed in theNew South Wales Cup in 2009 and 2010 and acted as a feeder club to theNRL clubSt. George Illawarra Dragons.[1]
The Shellharbour City Dragons were formed from currentIllwarra Carlton League and formerGroup 7 Rugby League member, theShellharbour Sharks. The Sharks administration still run this version of Shellharbour City representation as well as the other Sharks sides. The Dragons were established in 2007 as theShellharbour City Marlins to act as a feeder club to theSt George Illawarra Dragons, initially entering theNSWRLJim Beam Cup with the thought in mind to gain entry into theNSW Cup, a feat achieved in 2009. When this occurred, the name was converted from Marlins to Dragons to further enhance the association between the two clubs. In 2011, the Dragons failed to come up with money to field a team in the NSW Cup, so currently the club is taking a hiatus from this competition with an aim to return in 2012.[2]
