Just like to echo Vic's remarks. Good performance for Ireland yesterday and a good advertisement for Irish cricket. Young Stirling did well and has shown that NCU players can mix with the best of them. Praise has to go to young Joe Denly too who has shown he's got a good future ahead of him in the England side.
First time watching Ireland play cricket at a live venue and against England no less, absolutely a super performance by the Irish players,matched the Englishmen pound for pound in all aspects and result lost only on the penultimate ball of the game.
Great stuff Cricket Ireland/Ulster,hope this is the start of many more internationals to come.
Bye the way,answers to my earlier posting Ref Sporting Genuis Three of the greatest.

Irelands team today consists of 7 players born in Ireland.
Englands team today consists of 8 players born in England.
Ireland have 4 imigrants and England has 3. List to follow if required
You're both wrong, the game was at Old Trafford, not Wembley. 0-0 at half time then 2 soft goals at the start of the second half, ended up 4-0, flattered England.
Anyway, back to cricket, good start for Ireland, pity it's not being broadcast anywhere
Little Englander,
Sorry I lost count after 3!
Actually it was 4-0 but who's counting
Andy, next time you complain about Gerry's spelling, maybe you should have a look at your own. Or maybe you should revert to your native tongue. What is it? Gaelic? Ulster-Scots? Ha ha, sorry but that isn't a language - more of an accent actually that a select few in the North East speak. What has Healy got to do with cricket anyway? And 'selective' - did you forget that we beat you 3-0 at Wembley in the same competition? Stop selecting results from other sports and concentrate on cricket as this is supposed to be a cricketing forum. Maybe you have ran out of anti english slurs and have to revert to other sports....
Vic & Jason,
Glad to see Millpark 2's doing so well but if they manage to get promotion, other teams will not be so accomodating and play them when they're firsts have no match.
i hope not james i'm in the castleview suite! Anyway saturdays PL matches. Waringstown vs Lisburn the pick of them. It will be a good match. with the guys back to full strenght they look to be favourites for not only the match the league too. i promises to be a great finish to the end of the season. Anybody know when the north down waringstown game is being played? i hear it a 20/20!
sorry Gerry - you're absolutely correct when you say that I regard myself as being perfect - maybe I spend too much time umpiring when, of course, we are never wrong!!
selective memory? the English contingent revert to type and erase unpleasnt results from their collective memory. Perhaps the name Healey will ring a few bells!!
Heard a wee rumour today that tomorrows big game has already been abandoned, but not made public...
Think we might have heard if that was the case James!
Jason
Yea your rite,you bowled well that evening and young Ryan had a brilliant knock against us. Good luck in the higher league next season,think you's are almost there now.
