The Hills District Bulls is a Parramatta District junior rugby league football club which play in Baulkham Hills at Crestwood Oval. They have played in the Parramatta District since 1964.[1] They field teams in all age groups including C-Grade, A-Grade, Sydney Shield and Ron Massey Cup competitions.
Over a few beers at the Bull & Bush Hotel at Baulkham Hills the club's name and legend was born in 1963. The club's inaugural season was 1964. They commenced with an A Grade, A Reserve Grade and C Grade team and trained on Yattenden Oval. On some match days when there were insufficient A Grade players available, players from the A Reserve Grade team would double up and play two games. They moved from Yattenden Oval to The Castle Hill Showground in about 1966 although some home games were played at the Showground in 1964. From there they moved to Jasper Road to train and play their home games. The C Grade side won the Premiership in 1965 their second year in the competition and the first Premiership for the Club. They have used Crestwood Oval, Baulkham Hills, as their home ground since it was created in the 1970s.[1] On 4 September 2022, Hills District won the Ron Massey Cup after defeating Glebe 18-12 in the grand final.[2]
