Regional sports results in New South Wales

Overview

Regional sporting events in the Illawarra and New South Wales areas saw several significant results in football and rugby league during mid-August 2026.

In the Illawarra Premier League 2, a rare occurrence saw all five first-grade games in a single round end in draws. This included a 2-2 result for the Oak Flats Falcons, who secured the minor premiership with two rounds remaining.

In rugby league, the Harrigan Cup race intensified when Collegians defeated the Corrimal Cougars 18-16. The victory was secured by a 48-metre penalty goal by Blair Grant in the final minute of play, breaking Corrimal’s seven-game winning streak.

In the NPL Men's NSW, the Wollongong Wolves maintained their mathematical hopes for the finals with a 2-1 stoppage-time victory against Rockdale Ilinden, featuring a winning goal by Yuto Fujita in the sixth minute of added time.
