Our club dates back to the late 1800s when the first matches were played on a property near the mouth of the Coomera River. This property was owned by the Foxwell family.
There were seven known sites where ovals were located, from Gunanaba in the upper reaches of the Coomera catchment area, through to the land opposite the Coomera River Hotel. These sites include the site which is now occupied by the Coomera Police Station, land at the Oxenford Race Club, Banksia Park at Hope Island and today’s Croc’s headquarters at Oxenford Park.
The office bearers of the club have included members from the original settlers and long established families such as Barr, Oxenford, Foxwell, Hinze, Siganto, Hollindale, Spies, Faulks, Currey, Bignell and Binstead.
Over the years, the club has provided a number of Gold Coast Cricket Association officials and on many occasions, Coomera players have been involved at every level of representation for the Gold Coast area and state teams in both senior and junior cricket.
The Club has a long history of support from the local community at any given time and has received continuous support from Gold Coast City Council.
Today the club boasts around 250 members ranging from juniors through to seniors in all levels of competition on the Gold Coast
They make our club a friendly environment for Our Players, Parents, Coaches, Managers, Volunteers, and Sponsors.
We encourage all cricketers, no matter of their ability, to enjoy their cricket, work together as a team, play to the best of their ability, and strive to be better.
This encouragement is not to the detriment of our core values as we believe there is more to cricket than results on a scoresheet.
FAIR PLAY
Fair Play is a skill taught though the experience of playing with a group of like minded individuals whose core belief is to enjoy cricket and play fair.
INTEGRITY
Integrity is the fundamental core value of our cricket club. This value is passed down from our Life Members and Masters players who have grown this club to where it is today. Playing by the rules and honour the umpires decisions form how we play our cricket.
MATESHIP
Mateship drives the commitment of those in our club. Without mateship, we would not have any of these people to provide the cricket experience CHI prides itself on. We cannot run as a club without our mates helping us out.
Our club has been built on the tireless efforts of our members throughout its history. Without people giving of their time and support, our club would not be where it is today. It is with honour that we recognise these individuals for the time they have given to ensuring that Coomera Hope Island Cricket Club continues to grow.
