Baseball is seeing a resurgence of popularity and the Musketeers, as one of Queensland’s oldest baseball clubs, is looking to boost its numbers up into the new year.
Established in 1954, Ipswich Musketeers has a proud history of representative players while maintaining the reputation as a family-oriented club that promotes the opportunities for all to enjoy the sport of baseball.
Originally based at Spring St, East Ipswich, in 1989 the club made the move to the Tivoli Sporting Complex – creating one of the best baseball facilities in South East Queensland.
Boasting two full-sized diamonds, batting cage facilities and ample room for spectators and parking, the club fields teams for the summer GBL (Greater Brisbane League) competition, running from October through to March.
If this Musketeers outfit continues to post wins, it will remain as one of the othe benchmarks for the sport in South East Queensland.
