A decade since the ACT Comets last played as a standalone entity in the Toyota National Second XI competition, their return for the 2023/2024 season brought about a great sense of excitement amongst the local Canberra cricket community.

The Comets return made for a development stepping stone for local players to compete at a national level, an opportunity that motivated many local players who had been toiling away in the ACT competition without reward.

Time to let the cat…or should I say bull out of the bag!

I’ve accepted a job at Queensland Cricket as an Elite Physical Performance Coach. I am excited to get stuck in and work with some of the best coaches and athletes in Australia and drive the program forward into the future.

This brings an end to my journey in the Cricket system in the USA. It has been an absolute whirlwind of an experience. I tried my hardest to support the athletes and collaborate with some brilliant coaches over the years in what is a very challenging environment. Thanks to all the athletes and coaches for the great memories, you all hold a special place and I have learnt a lot from you all.

I was very fortunate to be a part of USA cricket gaining ODI status, a part of Major League Cricket growth and be a part of Washington Freedom for season one. I feel very fortunate to be here for so much growth and excitement over the last 6 years. However, the time is right to move on and head back to Australia with the family.

We set off next week for Brisbane. We can’t wait to make Brisbane our new home, create a heap of new adventures and experiences and work in the best system in the world. August can’t wait to see koalas, kangaroos and play cricket!

Brissy here we come! 🇦🇺💪🏼

Vale Anthony Raymond - 1969-2024

Aged 55, Gone too soon.
Big Ray had many good friends, a long-time loyal friend, and fellow Briar and umpire Gerard Abood, which summarises him perfectly below.

On Wednesday, 7 May 2024, we received the news that Anthony had passed away, after a long battle with his health. He was only 55 years old.

For those who knew him, it is inconceivable that it has come to this. Big, burly "Ray,” who seemed larger than life in so many ways, apparently was not. He was, it seems, as mortal as the rest of us, which just doesn’t make sense on any level.

I love to see people do things a little differently and have fun doing so.

Evan Bancroft is a well-respected member of the Queensland sporting community, and Banger and his good mate former Australian fast bowler Jeff Thomson, combine to help Jo attract new buyers to 14 Eversden Street, Kenmore.

Cricket and property are two of Australia's greatest passions.

Well done, Banger and Thommo, and best of luck with the sale.

WEST Indies batting legend Brian Lara said the region will continue to fall behind in world cricket if better facilities and technology are not provided for the players.

Lara, who is in India doing commentary for the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) T20 tournament, was speaking virtually on day two of the Caricom Cricket Conference at Hyatt Regency Hotel in Port of Spain on Friday.

West Indies were a powerhouse in the 1970s, 1980s and in the first half of the 1990s.

“The lack of good facilities and academies with the right technology to grow the game kept us aside,” Lara said.

“We felt that our cricketers were naturally good and the way we learnt the game was still the best way. No, it was not and if we still believe that today we are in serious trouble

Mark's career stats and achievements:
322 games (SLCC record)
10,150 runs at 31.23 (SLCC record)
275 wickets at 19.70

CSL is proud to announce our coaching ranks for the 2024/25 season.
David Somerville is back onboard as Head Coach after returning last year after a few years away. His playing knowledge from being a regular Sydney 1st Grader and NSW Country Bowler shines through into his coaching ability with his high standards and hard work ethic being drilled into our playing squad.
Jason 'JP' Varoxis has signed on as Assistant Coach. JPs effect on our playing squad has been evident ever since joining us. Despite being out last year with a major knee injury, he always made time to come to training and matches to put us through our paces or share any knowledge and feedback for our young squad. JP not only will be our assistant coach, but as one of the best gloveman in Newcastle will be our specialist Wicket Keeper Coach. JPV Strength & Conditioning
Steve Mudford will officially take the role of our Specialist Batting Coach. Steve shows that class is permanent with him arguably being one of the most glorious looking batters in Newcastle 20 years after he made his NSW Country debut. With near 30 years of 1st grade experience, His knowledge and coaching ability was evident last year when he was assisting our batters in drills and passing on his wealth of knowledge without hesitation.
Welcome aboard lads, 24/25 is taking shape nicely.
