While the Mariners trained under the new lights at Tulip St, the Sandy membership gathered to elect office-bearers for coming season, and review the previous year. Sandringham had an interesting year in 2016/17, and while the performances on-field were patchy, off-field, the club is on a good track. At the AGM, President Tony Beaumont reported that the club fielded a record 21 teams in 2016/17, highlighted by a premiership to
Read MoreJune 19th: IT’s a great way to start the week after winning on the weekend. Our 14 hits paved the way for our victory over a much improved Chelsea team at home on Saturday. Some timely hits combined with patience in the batting box saw us pick the right pitch to hit whilst drawing sensibly a walk when available. Chris Ward starred for us when he played in the infield for the first time in living memory allowing Marty

Read MoreMay 29th: It is with mixed feeling that we report a loss to Dingley on the Weekend at Tulip Street. The final score of 7-6 has its pain in that we left many runners on base and lost one at the plate. With two out in the last we had runners on 2nd and 3rd but we just couldn’t push the last runs over. The upside is that we had a few absences from our team and some of our
Read MoreMay 22: Your Sandringham Royals Winter team put in another solid performance on their long road trip to Pakenham. It was 3rd (Sandy) v 4th in a tight game in unexpected sunny and mild conditions. The Royals got on the board in the first after Max McLoughlin lined a single into left field and then stole both second and third. Sandy left many runners on base during the day which will need to be addressed before any tilt at the

Read MoreMay 16th: With the Senior League tournament on in Lismore, it is an opportune time to reflect on how baseball can give you a path to represent your club, state and country, and give you opportunities beyond just sport.

Jordy has been offered and has accepted a 4-year
Read MoreMay 15th: Our Sandringham Royals winter team put in another good performance on Saturday at Tulip Street. Mornington Pirates took an early opportunity to score in the first innings only to see Sandy hit back following a smashing triple to Max McLoughlin.

Read MoreMay 8th: On a grim and showery afternoon, the Sandy nine took on Chelsea down at Edithvale. Unsure if we’d get a start let alone the minimum 65 minutes the Royals piled on 6 runs in the first. It was a combination of intelligent hitting into the outfield gaps and some aggressive running that saw such a good start. Iron Mike Herman put up his hand to start even whilst still aching from last weeks time on the hill.
Read MoreYour Winter Royals played their second game for the season on Saturday at Tulip Street. Having been promoted mid-week to a higher grade after a resounding first up victory we struggled against a younger team with steady pitching. Dandenong scored 7 in the first innings and at games end we trailed by exactly that amount. Some hitting, some errors and walks caused the grief for us. We slowly got back into the game but were never able to peg back
