Gareth, don't fret,you'll see plenty of speed & fire-power down at 'the mall' on 22nd/23rd June when our 2nd string take on Armagh 2's.

Will you make the team or do you still play with Armagh 4th's ?

Dunno about the merits of a trip to Junction 1, but I would love to see a few lads figures on the speed gun, i definitely reckon it would lead to some lively debate!

Good of the PSNI to loan Muckamore their hairdryer :D

I also agree with Ryan, 'hats off' to the two Andys from cricket development & Muckamore C.C. respectively.
Very innovative and pro-active thinking,bringing cricket out onto the streets into the public eye and encouraging them to get involved.

We should get up to Junction-one sometime over the Easter weekend,Mrs.'Jons' can do a bit of shopping and the boys and I can play cricket at the same time; brilliant!

Hope that speed gun will be there!!

re earlier postings about the performance of England - takes 5 days to beat Bangladesh and the English media have them as World Cup contenders! At least its not all bad - the English press seem to have (at long last) got the rose-tinted specs off about the "progress" in English rugby. Also an interesting posting on the Cricket Scotland forum re "foreign" players.

Ivan...
Sounds like a fantastic opportunity at Junction One. Hope you have got the guys in the cricket office involved?? and indeed the local council.

Neil, yes there has been work on the drainage between the pitches and towards the clubhouse end. I dont know a great deal about it im sure big gav or ivan could fill you in.

With all the news coming out of Muckamore this winter about new players, new clay pitches being laid, new practice facilities,winter training I think THE biggest story is that Andy Clement and Andy McCulloch have negotiated with Junction One Shopping Centre to hold Northern Ireland's first ever cricket fun weekend FOR ALL in an empty unit at the centre.
With 80,000 visitors to Junction One from Good Friday to Easter Tuesday they hope to get thousands of people to take part in bowling, batting and throwing competitions.
This fun event will hopefully raise awareness of cricket and the Muckamore club locally in Antrim but also all over Northern Ireland as Junction One gets visitors from far and wide.
More details of the exact format will be posted later but it will operate from 11am to 5 pm for 4 days and we would hope to get at least one thousand people a day joining in the fun. Prizes will be available so why not come along and join the fun.It is hoped to have a speed gun available to see who can really bowl quick.
The new crazy golf facility at Junction One also opens that weekend so now there really is a shopping centre for all the family.

I drove past Downpatrcik last week and noticed what looks like some drainage work going on between the square and the clubhouse and in between the wickets
Can someone from Downpatrick confirm ?

sorry Stephen - can't accept what you say - surely the Glazers are paragons of financial probity!

Re Wayne

I heard you had bought a house in Lurgan - have Victoria come in with a better offer!?

Andy - those Glaziers are going to turn the mighty Mancs into Liverpool, so don't trust them!!

Wayne - can I rent your new pad off you for my honeymoon please??!!

Andy,
Them glazers are a right pane...
