About the Club

Based in Arundel at Morrie Glasman Oval, Southport Labrador Cricket Club is one of the oldest non-profit community-based sporting organisations in Queensland, with the Club’s history through its Southport origins dating back as far as 1883. Throughout this time the Club has enjoyed great success within the Gold Coast Cricket District’s club competition, winning more than 30 premierships and producing numerous State and Australian cricket representatives, including Steve Monty (QLD), John Buchanan (QLD & Australian Coach) and Richie Robinson (VIC & Australian Representative, QLD Coach).Former Australian Test selector, player and 1948 Invincible Sam Loxton is also a regular patron of the Club.

Now one of the largest and most successful clubs in the Gold Coast district, Southport Labrador has more than 200 playing members and 50 social members, with teams participating in all five grades of the local competition. The Club is also an active supporter of junior cricket on the Gold Coast, through both administrative involvement and coaching support, with more than 70 children representing Southport Labrador across the under 10’s, 11’s, 12’s, 13’s, 15’s and 17’s competitions.

Most recently the Club has continued its exceptional on�]field success, with the 2008/2009 season seeing Southport Labrador minor premiers in four out of five grades, premiers in both 1st and 5th Grade and overall Club Champions of the Gold Coast Cricket District’s club competition. The Club is also in preparation to partner with the World Transplant Games by hosting the 2009 cricket competition.

In 2009/2010 the Club is aiming to continue to be one of the strongest and most professionally run clubs in Queensland. This success will be achieved through a combination of a professional and hard working administration, high calibre club coaching, a solid financial position and durable, quality facilities.
