Jason,
No need to pack Factor 50 for Saturday, forecast is for.......rain!
jeff what odds have you for dundrum to beat millpark 2s on sat at the meadow??? quite looking forward to my first trip up for a few years
Vic have you tried the Munster Cricket Union i think they have all club details from that region and to " Mr Contingent" he was a real gentleman and i don,t drink myself but i do like some
slemish mountain dew !!! with ice ??
Neil ill have that bet ( did go thru over 180 posts to find that u didnt take North Down , ps u would have ?) never mind Liverpool i turned Man utd of after first half too see cricket as champions league only worth watching when it gets too knockout home and away the foremat favours the big teams as its never been the same since was the EUROPEAN CUP as tv is ruining the game showing far too much poor games as in the same way madness having 7 match series Aus/Eng should be 3 match and tickets for last game half price if nothing at stake or 5000 free too schoolkids . Anyone know why Ireland didnt get game againest Aussies when Scotland did surely the planners could see that 7 games series would and has been far too many as no doubt Australia in Belfast / Dublin was a fixture MISSED? With the weather set fair for the weekend all teams i wish all teams good luck especially Saintfield & Instonians.
Gerry, would you still have any contacts from your time on tour with Lurgan, whoops sorry I meant to say the Mid-Ulster Select!!! when you went to Co.Galway.
The English Gentleman.
Yes sir there's no doubt about that,the late Dr Wesley Ferris, Ireland, Waringinstown and Victoria cricketer, would certainly have no time for all the 'shananigans' and assing about that seems to go on between some cricket clubs! And yes Jackie Denver,another great international (football),but also famed with starting up Victoria C.C.in 1956 and loved his cricket.
Yes unfortunatly he is now not able to get around much, but still keeps an active interest in his cricket club.
When Wesley was very ill and had'nt long left, he was still organising the Wesley Ferris Cup etc for the youth teams from his sick bed.
I think that sort of sums it up really,when you hear and read about things that go on in local cricket.
Yes Wesley Ferris, Jackie Denver, real cricketmen,real gentlemen and certainly the type off men I salute...
Jeff its 3 pints, didnt take you up on your Senior cup bet. Sure 3 pints does you these days, or soo the lads in the Dundrum Inn tell me, lol!!DOuble or quits on Muckamore beating Dundrum at the lovely Moylena next season??
Yes thats rite Gerry ?
We at Victoria C.C. are already planning our pre-season tour for early next April and are thinking about heading down Co.Galway direction.
Its very heavy reading on that other channel at present,so to date I have not had a reply!
Maybe someone on this site could help me and let me know where is the nearest cricket clubs around the Galway area,or do they even play cricket down there !
Many thanks Vic Jons Victoria C.C.
Gerry/Vic,
Wesley was a gentleman. Didn't drink Gerry, so you probably had to buy your own! Wish he was still around to see the shennanigans going on in cricket now. Vic, is Jackie Denver still around? I heard he is disabled now. Another gentleman, how do you guys do it in Victoria?
Vic i see from the other channel that you are looking to go to Galway on tour !! i remember going there with the late Dr Wesley Ferris and a mid-ulster select and having a great time i would recommend it to any club.
Davy,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it was Glendermott who had most of their club working day and night to get the pitch ready for a game which, if they won, would mean they would stave off relegation? If so, I wonder how many clubs in NCU would have mamebers with so much commitment. Dundrum certainly wouldn't anyway..!
RE big davy think they best option available but ill say this if the normal september weather was here everyone be real glad for 20 overs & not 50 . hope your well m8 aint seen neil gill so ill have too wait on the 6 pints at moylena next year nice start to game for me
ref Jeff
Our boys didn't even last twenty overs when they got the opportunity to bat fifty down your place.
I guess if people don't like 'the lottery' of a twenty over shootout, they might try that little bit harder to get games on the first time of asking!
This is just too guage what interest their would be as the NCU have said that we cant bring our Sri Lankan coach Manni Fernando over as he played first class cricket even though he is not too good for this section but our club is certainly interested in looking too hire a Professional even if it is NCU PREMIER player all replies will be in strictest confidence the job will consist off coaching kids on mondays night & 1 summer school week ( possibly at night) taking charge off senior practice tue & thurs and obviously playing for Dundrum . contact jeff www.dundrumcc.com or my numbers are in ncu book .
ED , Thanks for fixture update great pity wasnt better bus service to the comber as never played or seen game at comber until month ago ive been 5 times now so think ill try come sat as Dundrum play CookeCollegians sunday noon .ps i should kept Alistar Bushes tenner and sponsored your game with it. ps the next post will be very serious and is not a wind up or trying too poach any clubs players!!!
