Western Suburbs Magpies, Rugby League

The Western Suburbs Magpies (originally Western Suburbs District Rugby League Football Club) is an Australian rugby league football club based in the western suburbs of Sydney, New South Wales. Formed in 1908, Wests, as they are commonly referred to, were one of the nine foundation clubs of the first New South Wales Rugby League competition in Australia. The club, as a sole entity, departed the top-flight competition in 1999 after forming a 50–50 joint venture with Balmain Tigers to form the Wests Tigers. The club currently fields sides in the Ron Massey Cup (Opens), Sydney Shield (Opens),[1] S.G. Ball Cup (Under 18's) and Harold Matthews Cup (Under 16's) competitions. Campbelltown Stadium, which has a capacity of 20,000, is their home stadium.
