Queens Cricket Club

Queens Cricket Club Queens Cricket Club participates in the Gold Coast Cricket Competition in both Juniors and Seniors. Go Centaurs! Peter 'Alby' Mitchell

The Spirit in the Centaurs
There's a spirit in the Centaurs that words cannot describe, it's as if they had descended from some legendary tribe. There’s a kinship, a tradition
As in days so long since past,
Of crusades, of knights in armour
And of men before the mast. There’s a thrill you can’t appreciate
A pride you cannot tell,
Lest you wear a Queens Cricket cap
And you wear it really well. When you bowl that inswinging yorker and the stumps go cartwheeling back, and our batsman, when when runs are needed, hits a mighty zack. When you tuck one down to fine
And you hit that winning run,
When you take that vital outfield catch
And your team mates say, ‘well done’. But it isn’t just the winning
Nor the scoring nor the cheers,
It’s the friendships and the memories
That last you through the years. It’s the camaraderie
That’s born of valour not of fame,
It’s the sheer exhilaration
When you play this cricket game!

🏏 Looking for a game of cricket without taking it all too seriously? 🏏

We’re putting together a cricket team with a bit of a difference.

The idea is pretty simple — bring people together for a game of cricket, have a laugh, and give everyone a go.

We’re particularly keen to give juniors the opportunity to play alongside adults in a fun and supportive environment. Whether you come along with family, a mate, or just come along yourself, you’re more than welcome.

It’s especially suited to juniors who enjoy their cricket but aren’t necessarily looking for ultra-competitive, win-at-all-costs cricket.

Our selection criteria are pretty demanding:

🏏 Enjoy cricket
😂 Be able to have a laugh
🍻 Accept that some of us peaked several decades ago
🤝 Encourage the people you’re playing with
🤷 Understand that dropped catches will probably be discussed far longer than good ones

There’ll still be some competitive spirit — nobody tries to lose — but winning isn’t the reason we’re there.

The aim is to have a good afternoon, give everyone a chance to contribute, and create a team where juniors and adults of different ages and abilities can enjoy cricket together.

No need to come as a pair or as a family — if you want a game, you’re welcome.

If this sounds like your sort of cricket, comment below or contact Joel. 🏏

Bonus points if your knees still work.
Season starts 10th October

🏏 THINKING ABOUT GIVING CRICKET A GO? 🏏

Have you been sitting on the fence about playing cricket? Maybe you’ve played before, maybe it’s been years… or maybe you’ve never played at all!

We’d love for you to come along and have a go! 🙌

If you know a friend, sister, workmate or anyone who might be interested, reach out and bring them along to one of our Wednesday or Friday night training sessions.

No commitment — just come down, have a hit, have a bowl, meet the girls and see what you think! 💚💛

We’d love to welcome some new faces and new friendships as we get ready for a fantastic season ahead! 🏏💚💛

You never know… you might just discover you love cricket! 🏏💚💛

👉 Tag a woman who should give it a go!
