Coomera Cubs Baseball Club


The Coomera Cubs Baseball Club is a baseball club located on the Gold Coast in Queensland, that participates in the Greater Brisbane League and the Gold Coast Baseball Association League. The club is also a host to the annual Summer Classic.

History

The club has a history dating back to the 1990s and was originally known as the Coomera Cougars. The club shared playing fields on the eastern side of the M1 where the Coomera Soccer fields now reside. The club was moved in the early 2000s to the current site at Gambamora Park and was officially incorporated in 2006 as the Coomera Cubs Baseball Club Inc. That year the club entered multiple Junior and Senior teams in the Gold Coast Baseball Association competition.

GBL

In 2017/18 the club entered into the Senior Div 1, Div 2, U16 Div 1 and U14 Div1 GBL competition for the first time. The following year saw the U16 team make the grand final and the U14 team win the championship. 2019/20 in the third year of the GBL senior competition the Senior Div 1 and Div 2 both made the playoffs. The Div 2 side sitting equal top of the table after the regular season on for and against and narrowly losing to Surfers on head to head results for the minor premiership.
In what can only be described as unprecedented times the season finals series were not played due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the competition was awarded based on placings during the regular season. Div 1 came 4th and Div 2 came 2nd.
