The History of The Ospreys Cowboys
The Whites Cowboys were formed in 1992. The Stetson Hats appeared on a TV trailer for the 'Wild West Wales' Swansea versus Llanelli game and the look was adopted by some Whites fans at the match.

Spurred on by the team's performance that day, the hat theme continued throughout what proved to be a memorable season with Swansea winning the championship and beating the then world champions Australia at St. Helen's.

Ever since that season, the Cowboys have adopted the practice of wearing stetsons, drinking large quantities of alcohol and playing musical instruments on matchdays and raising money for cancer charities on non-matchdays.

The Cowboys have raised money for Marrie Currie, Ty-Olwen Hospice and more recently The Toby Lloydd Cockbain foundation. The Cowboys most famous stunts to date include abseiling from the Millennium Stadium's roof, bungee jumping in Bristol and a 14,000 feet free fall parachute jump in North London. The Cowboys have also released 2 charity cd's and are planning on releasing another track soon in a collaberation with Peter Singh, The Rocking Sikh.

In these days of regional rugby we are now known as the Ospreys Cowboys and can be found at all Osprey matches at Liberty Stadium, most away games and also at most Welsh internationals.The Cowboys have been featured on tv, radio and the national press on numerouse occasions and have their own 12 seater mini bus which allows the message of 'swill hard, drill hard and stay warm' to be broadcast across the Wild West and beyond...
