Working on the 'tan', as we speak !!

Good morning men.
Yes indeed,as the English Cont'ent gentleman points out one bad game looks to have cost us dear, although we'll be able to watch England ofcourse. Hope they don't flatter only to decieve and yet again get dumped out in the early rounds!!!

Anyway more importantly, Cricket. Good to see the NCU Development Comittee Questionnaire published on the site.
Certainly there's one question I'll immediately address and thats Qu.8b

Our game needs more umpires not less,their involvement is cruicial to the smooth running of any match and I for one don't like to have do umpire myself, when I'm already playing!

Whats the solution;
May I propose that we pay them a bit more money. Even if it means all the clubs throwing a bit more into the 'Kitty', so what, it would be money well spent.
They are as important as the players themselves,we need them, so lets make it worth their while and time.

Cheers Gerry, w'ell give 110% for sure.

Stevie Max,
I also heard the request on u105 but it wasn't my request. Vic hope your not too disappointed after last nights result at Windsor. One bad game cost you.

We didn't win at the Park but our supporters were magnificent!
No complaints about ticket prices, no booze brought in to the ground, no cans thrown, no assaults, no finger gestures, no goading the fans,no whingin, and everybody peeing in the right place.
Happy days are back again.....la la la la la..

Stevie,
Yes it turned out to be another 'epic', our batsmen at the end just ran out of steam and just like our game at your place played in the best of spirit.

Stevie, watch out for Mr Maxwell's inswinging full toss when your playing Millpark, it can be lethal!!!

Stevie Max

sunny in Mallusk - honestly it is!

9th Sep 2009

Jason, in work but not fit enough to run to the toilet never mind 22 yards. Gonna have to shorten my run-up! We're looking forward to the game on Sunday, After the game, maybe the Maxwells from Dundrum will be the happier clan this time around.

EDITOR, Is it possible that you could put Andy Clements Questionairre on here? as a lot off players dont always get too see things like this and it be good too see the big lads views as he talks a lot sense even with the drink on board

Vic Jons,
I see on the NCU Site that you guys did well against Donaghcloney. As it was with us last year, you nearly scuppered their chance of promotion. Good effort! Raymond Matthews and the boys must have been biting their nails for a while.
