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..

Gerry,
I was sitting on the M1 in heavy traffic heading home and there was a request for the 'english contingent' at the NCU asking george to wish England all the best for tonights game against Croatia. Andy from Buckna got a special menrion too!

Jason
I'll ask the Clogher men this Sat about that one, play them last game of the season at home still looking for our first win!!!

Ah Gerry the man,how r u ?
Looking forward to seeing wee N'iron beaten the Slovaks tonite, not going to the match, but I think its on TV is'in it?

Vic i hope young Jason doesn,t get hit into that river like you did !!! he should bring a few old balls just in case !! Is anyone going to Windsor to- night ? any predications ?

Stevie

Unfortunatly the wee brothers not playing think he has 11 wkts in 2 games against yous so youll be happy not to see him.

Vic

Its took years to get that inswinging full toss just right :P ive also got a slower ball "bouncer" just ask the clogher boys :)

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!!!

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

Stevie what are you doing at work?? you should be in dundrum getting the pitch playable for the clash of the titans on sunday!!! there could be a few boys worse for wear as its our fines nite out on sat nite :)

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.

wasn't last weekend - news takes a bit longer to get to Buckna!

Oh Andy - you are just teasing us! Spill the beans - although, if it was last weekend, the only game that appears to have beaten the weather was CIYMS v Waringstown. Come on, put us out of our misery and give us a bandwagon to jump on!! :-)

I was not at the ISC final so in no way am I qualified to comment on the events. What I would say though is that to ban Donemena would seriously weaken the competition. I have played against them over years at Woodvale/Harlequins and CSN. They always play very hard, competitive cricket and they are great to play against. Like all North West fans they bring a travelling faithful to away grounds that most clubs would love to have and in my view Donemena are welcome at Stormont any day. Football hooligans get banned from games, clubs do not get banned and as many people have said the club cannot control fans particularly with a few beers in.

Andy, no NCU fingers being pointed on the website although the ISC pictures show that some were pointed on the pitch at the Hills. The NCU isn't immune to incidents and they should be reported to the proper authority but the NW seems to have them regularly. Tell us more about the East Belfast story as there's very little cricket to discuss.

I note the comments about Donemana vis-a-vis the ISC final. Having heard a wee whisper about a near-incident involving the father of a player and a senior experienced umpire at a ground in the East Belfast area I would suggest that, if true, then perhaps we shouldn't be too complacent to point too many fingers at the Nort-West.
