The Milton-Ulladulla Bulldogs are an Australian rugby league football team based in Ulladulla, a coastal town in the South Coast region. The club is a part of Country Rugby League and has competed in the South Coast first grade competition since the 1930s.
The Bulldogs originally competed in the Group 16 Rugby League competition before making the switch to the South Coast during the 1930s. Their success was far from instantaneous. It took the club until 1987 to win their inaugural first-grade premiership after five decades competing in the league. They have enjoyed relatively good success, however, in recent times. The Bulldogs made the final in 2002 before going down to Batemans Bay at the Tigers home ground, Mackay Park. In 2004, the Dogs did the double winning the minor premiership and taking out the title with a classy 50–12 performance over fifth-place playoff winning side, Berry Magpies, at Berry Showground.[1] The Bulldogs made it back-to-back titles in 2005, with another good performance in the final, defeating minor premiers Albion Park-Oak Flats Eagles at Centenary Park, Albion Park, 34–22.[2] In 2008, the Bulldogs took home the title again, this time win a home victory over minor premiers Shellharbour 36–24. In the same year the Under 18's were also victorious both games were played at home.
In 2013 the Bulldogs formed their first Women's League Tag team. In 2014, they won the Premiership Grand Final. The girls were Minor Premiers in 2015 but lost to rivals Kiama in the Grand Final. In 2017 the Under 18's coached by Peter Leffley were victorious and Jayden Millard was awarded the Under 18's Group 7 player of the year. In 2018 the under 18's were defeated in the grand final.
In 2018, the Milton-Ulladulla Bulldogs Senior club entered their first ever women's tackle side competing in the Under 18's division. This team were the Minor premiers but lost in the grand final.
The team's colours are pale blue, red and white.[4]
