The Sydney Uni Baseball Club was established in 1904, making it one of the oldest and most traditional clubs in Australia.

 

We are part of Sydney University Sport and Fitness, arguably the most prestigious sporting organisation in Australia, which dates back to 1852 and has produced more Australian representatives and won more major competitions than any other club in the country.

 

'Cynics' were a group of ancient Greek philosophers who believed that 'virtue is the only good and that the only means of achieving it is self-control'. They would never retreat from society, and would live in the full glare of the public's gaze and would be quite indifferent in the face of any insults which might result from their unconventional behaviour. This, accompanied with with academic history of the club, proves to be a fitting title.

The Australian University Games (AUG) are Australia's largest annual multi-sport event, attracting over 6,000 participants; many of whom are of Olympic standard.

By day, the AUG's are Australia's highest level of university sporting competition, and by night, are a combination of schoolies week and spring break.

Sydney University Baseball Club are 2006, 2009 and 2010 champions, making us the country's best baseball university.

We invite all local and international students currently enrolled at the University of Sydney to register their interest.

The Fund originated as a bequest from the estate of University baseballer Mr Ron Rushbrooke in 2004, the Club's centenary year. Its vision is to ensure the perpetual viability of baseball at Sydney University.

The aim is to raise the capital of the Fund to a level where the annual income generated will finance the Ron Rushbrooke undergraduate baseball scholarship in perpetuity.

 

We strongly urge all past players and alumni who have enjoyed and benefited from their time at the Club to contribute. What better way to give something back to the Club and the University than to ensure that future generations enjoy the same richness of opportunity. Furthermore, all donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.

The Sydney Uni Baseball Club is active off the diamond also, demonstrating its reputation as one of the most social clubs in Sydney.

 

After every home game and training, you will find the Cynics at their second home; The Roxbury Hotel.

Patrons can enjoy regular entertainment in comfortable modern spaces, with delicious food available to suit all tastes.

We thank all of its management and staff for their continued sponsorship and support to the Sydney Uni Baseball Club.
