==Sport== The [[Whyalla Football League]] is an [[Australian rules football]] competition supporting half-a-dozen clubs. In 1998, Bennett Oval hosted a [[National Rugby League]] match between the [[Adelaide Rams]] and [[Illawarra Steelers]]. The Steelers won 39β4. But Whyalla also has sports for Basketball, Hockey, Soccer & Boxing. Out of the 4 just mentioned, The '''Whyalla Basketball Association''' is the most popular, along with the '''Whyalla Soccer Association'''. Hockey is still popular across Whyalla, with its league, the '''Whyalla Hockey Association''', getting many players and even schools to join in with the Hockey Games.
