Q: 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.

Q: With the ACT’s return to the Toyota National 2nd XI competition a little over a week away, Premier Cricket performances are becoming important not just for weight of numbers, but for their timing as well.
Weston Creek Molonglo top order bat Zak Keogh’s star continues to rise, with a well-made 123-ball innings of 109 against Tuggeranong at Stirling notable for the comfort with which he reached three figures.
Keogh batted superbly through the second session to bring up his first century of the summer and pushed the ‘Creek to 254 where they were bowled out in the 59th over. Daniel Oshyer was the chief destroyer with 5-39 from 15 overs for Tuggeranong, who finished the day 3-91 from 37 overs.
At ANU North, WA import and promising allrounder Lachie Simpson posted his first ton in Canberra, finishing unbeaten on 159 and helping the Students reach 289 against Queanbeyan.
