Burracoppin Cats Banners - Celebrate Your Cats with Custom Footy Banners
Out in Western Australia's Wheatbelt, the Burracoppin Cats take their footy seriously - and milestone moments deserve to be celebrated in a big way. FootyBanners.com crafts fully personalised banners for clubs like the Cats, perfect for running onto the oval in true style.
Simple to Order
Select from Single Player, Two Player, Team, or Grand Final banner options, then give us the player's name, guernsey number, and milestone - for example, Tom White, #14, 150 Games. Using permanent inks on heavy-duty paper, our banners are tough enough to survive a blazing WA afternoon out on the Wheatbelt oval.
Two Players, One Banner
When two Cats reach the same milestone on the same day, our Two Player banner is the perfect tribute. Simply provide both names, guernsey numbers, and the milestone, and we'll produce a banner that honours them both in style.
Team Banners for Group Celebrations
Gather the group with a Team Banner for 3-6 players. Use a punchy top-line message like "CATS - PREMIERS" to fire up the whole club on game day. A great way to recognise team achievement and build club spirit.
Wall Keepsake Banners
Our Wall Keepsake Banners come in Small, Medium, and Large sizes, printed on thick recyclable paper using waterproof inks. Hang them in the Cats' clubrooms, in a proud player's garage, or on the family games room wall as a lasting reminder of a great career.
Grand Final Banners
Available in 4.5m and 5.5m sizes, our Grand Final banners feature fully customised top and bottom text. Reach out for design advice and let's create something that does justice to the Burracoppin Cats Football Club on the biggest day of the season.
About Burracoppin Cats Football Club
Origins and Founding
The Burracoppin Football Club, known as the Cats, was inaugurated in 1923, making it one of the longest-serving clubs in the WA Wheatbelt. Founded in the small wheat-farming townsite of Burracoppin in the Shire of Merredin, the club has been central to community life in the area for over a century. The club competes in the Central Wheatbelt Football League and runs League and Reserves football teams alongside an active netball program with A1, A2, B, and Juniors sides.
Club History
More than 100 years of competitive football in the WA Wheatbelt has given the Burracoppin Cats a proud and distinctive history. The club has endured through the considerable challenges of running community sport in a small regional town - population fluctuations, seasonal farming pressures, and long travel distances to away games are all part of the Wheatbelt football experience. Despite these challenges, the Cats have maintained competitive League and Reserves sides over many decades, consistently taking on neighbouring Wheatbelt clubs. The club's combined football and netball program makes it a genuine community sporting hub, with families and players from the wider Shire of Merredin area all contributing to match days throughout the season.
Home Ground
The Cats play their home games at the Burracoppin townsite, in the heart of the Wheatbelt on the Great Eastern Highway, 283 kilometres east of Perth. The ground is a classic country footy oval, surrounded by the characteristic flat landscape and vast open skies of the WA grainbelt. Home games draw the tight-knit local community together, with netball courts alongside the football ground ensuring the club's full sporting program can run on the same day.
Community and Programs
The Burracoppin Football Club runs a junior football program alongside its senior competitions, providing a pathway for young players in the Shire of Merredin to progress through the game. The joint football and netball operation means the club supports an unusually wide range of participants for a town of its size, with both men's and women's sport represented across multiple grades. The club is heavily dependent on volunteer effort and local sponsorship to sustain operations each season.
Burracoppin
Burracoppin is a townsite on the Great Eastern Highway in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, 283 kilometres east of Perth and 25 kilometres east of Merredin. At the 2021 census it had a population of 114. The town was gazetted in 1891 and its name derives from an Aboriginal word meaning "near a big hill", referring to the nearby Burracoppin Rock. Burracoppin is historically significant as the starting point of the first Rabbit Proof Fence, construction of which began here in 1901, heading south to Esperance and north towards Port Hedland. The main industry remains wheat farming, with the town serving as a CBH Group grain receival site.
The Cats compete in the Central Wheatbelt Football League and call Burracoppin their home ground. Follow them on Facebook for news and match day updates.

Creating the Break-Through Slits
-

💡 Tips & Tricks
-
Single Weak Spot: Some players cut only one slit to save and display the torn banner—repair later with clear tape on the reverse.
-
Logo Preservation: Position your slit to one side of the mascot or logo so your club’s emblem stays intact and can be retained afterwards for display.
