The town of Wynyard, which currently has a population of roughly 8½ thousand, nestles beneath the picturesque Table Cape at the mouth of the Inglis River in northwest Tasmania. Wynyard enjoys a vibrant town atmosphere, much of which is reflected in the support of the town's many sporting teams, including the Wynyard Football Club, also known as "the Cats".
The Wynyard Football Club has a long and proud history and has a reputation of playing the game with plenty of passion which has endeared it to the local community for many years.
