Andy & Jim,
Totally agree there with your sentiments regarding those brave young men & women out in Afghanistan and Iraq etc.
I salute their courage and god bless them !
Andy,
For a change I do agree with you. My son has a pal heading off to Afghanistan this week and he has only turned 18 never mind 19. So it is fitting to put it all in perspective when we are sending kids off to a war zone. Bless them all.
sorry Jim but "my boys" i.e. Muckamore aren't in the soccer World Cup! Is there anyone out there who shares my view of Mr. Hansen's comments that the English players looking tired? £80K per week, luxury hotels and coaches to the matches! 19 year-old kids fighting in Afghanistan might justifiably feel "tired" occasionally!
Anyway - looking forward to Stormont on Wednesday - just hope I don't "fall in" with the guys from Victoria & Woodvale as on the England game
Andy I see your boys made it to the world cup this year. healy and davis were spotted hanging outside the stadiums autgraph hunting!
I like 'the cut of your jib' Andy, but I don't think Jim and the English contingents will share a similiar disposition? Keep them at it !!
just to please Jim - there's a couple of stories doing the rounds on text at the moment. "On Monday Argentina meet Brazil in Cape Town. Tuesday Spain meet Italy in J'burg and on Wednesday England meet France-- at the airport!!"
Also "breaking news - England have a new coach! It'll be picking them up at Heathrow on Thursday!"
And on a serious note - glad to hear that James F. McCall is OK after his mishap of being struck at Ballymena on Saturday.
Any idea when the semi-final draw is the challenge cup?
Tonight
Jim, would'nt like to see England go out, but they do make awful hard work off it ! You must agree !!
Anyway there's a wee problem at the minute with our web-site which our administer is currently trying to repair.
Wish he'd get a move on though, I've alot of writing and 'reporting' to be getting on with, as I'm sure you'll appreciate !!!
Vic Now, now stop bashing our wee team! By the way, was on your website today, and clicked on the Vic Johns tab... it says 'Fatal Error' LOL
No you heard rite Eves-dropper ??
324 to be exact, the only thing we did'nt do is bat out the full 50overs,47.2 we only lasted and our captain was very angry about that !!!!
Still like I said, wish England would play all their world-cup matches on a Friday evening, it's great comedy and does set 'one' up for a great days cricket on the Saturday !
Only thing is though, don't think they have too many matches left until it's time to go home !!! Dearry-me !!!!
Thanks Andy. Heard someone hit 300+ on Saturday as well. Am I mistaken?
Eaves Dropper - North Down 340 for 6 -v-Ballymena in Challenge Cup 22/5
Did I hear right, that some team in the NCU hit over 300 on Saturday? Highest so far this season has been a whooping 294 by Bangor. Who did it? How many did they make?
Brian Boyd of Academy reached 500+ wickets yesterday. Just show if you play long enough! But seriously, congratulations to a genuinely nice guy.
Well done to all who take 1,000 wickets in a career - some have taken 1,000+ inc International, Interpro and Senior 1 wickets, others throughout the divisions - all show great character, durability, determination and above all a love for the game of cricket!
