Darwin Cubs is a now-defunct soccer club from Darwin, Australia.
The Cubs played as a foreign team in the Singapore Premier League in 1994 and finished runners-up to another Australian team, Perth Kangaroos IFC. They also entered the Singapore league the following year, but had to withdraw part way through the season due to financial difficulties.
The Cubs were managed by Nicholas Mitaros. Some of the team's higher-profile players included Luis Rodriguez, Peter Politis, Manuel Lolias, Barbero, Hamilton Thorpe, Jason Petkovic, Cyril Ndongo-Keller and Carlo Talladira, all of whom moved to or returned to Australian National Soccer League teams after the demise of the Cubs.
Famous quotes containing the words darwin and/or cubs:
“From the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
—Charles Darwin (1809–1882)
“An unlicked bear”
