WCSC is located in the Illawarra/South Coast region of NSW. It covers an area from Helensburgh in the north, to Shoalhaven in the south. The open competition grew over 40% in 2000 and the current season has five teams with an estimated 70-80 players.

WCSC's representitive team recently became the leading country team in NSW after finishing third at the 2003 state championships in Maitland behind Sydney Blue and Sydney Gold.

In reply the Bulldogs got away to a solid start with Dan Solway (23), Harrison Dean (19), Camden Hawkins (20) and Michael Challita (42) well on top of the bowling to place Bankstown in a strong position to secure victory.
