Are you the owner of Canterbury Bankstown Berries FC?
The West Sydney Berries are an Association football club based in Bankstown, New South Wales.
They were one of the first clubs formed in Sydney and competed in the first ever New South Wales State League as Canterbury FC, and have also been known as Canterbury-Marrickville Olympic.
The club has recently changed its name from Canterbury-Marrickville to West Sydney Berries to increase its appeal across South-western Sydney.
This will be the first time the club plays without Canterbury in its name.
The club was also chosen by Football NSW to be automatically promoted along with Macarthur Rams to the NSW top League for the 2007/08 Season.
The main reason for the club’s inclusion was to strengthen football’s presence in Western Sydney and also to have a starting post for a possible Western Sydney franchise in the A-League.
The identification and progression of talented players is delivered via our youth and senior representative teams currently competing in Football NSW competitions.
