[edit] History

In the 1980's the Central Queensland Capras had entered a team in the Queensland Winfield State League Competition. Their colours were Navy Blue and Maroon at that time. In 1996 the Queensland Rugby League Central Division entered a representative team, the Central Capras in the inaugural Queensland Cup competition. The costs were too expensive for the Central Division to maintain, and in October 1998 it was decided that a private club should be entered into the Queensland Cup. Although this team was known as the Central Capras in 1999, it was decided to rename the team to the Central Comets to avoid confusion with the Capras representative teams.
