About Comets Baseball

Comets Baseball moved to Peace Link Park in Clones, Co. Monaghan shortly before the 2016 season started, thus requiring the team name to be changed from Cavan Comets to simply Comets Baseball. In their first season in Monaghan they went 4-18, finishing fourth of four teams in the B League North Division, thereafter steadily improving, going 5-13 in 2017, finishing 6th out of 7 in the B League North. A slight drop in form in 2018 ( 3-15, sixth of 7 teams), was followed by a 5-14 season in 2019 (finishing fourth of four in the B-2 League) and then a 4-5 season in the 2020 B League North Division, finishing 3rd of four teams. 2022 was a huge inprovement for the team, going 8-3 in the B League Upper, finishing second of five teams, and reaching the B Playoff Final, before losing 7-9 to Mariners Baseball B team.
