big davy well done from all at dundrum cc + good too see academy in a strong position to win the junior cup final at lisburn tonight, last but not least downpatrick were worthy winners on sat in a keenly contested win over dundrum and 2 wins away from getting back in the top league and when you see the work that gavin ringland & ivan reid does the strangford road ground is as good if not the best in the north. ps why have australia been backed from 170/1 to 65/1 last night is the english team backing them .lol surely only england win or draw possible??
My once fine club Cliftonville made it through to the Final of the Ulster Shield today. St Johnston made 134 and We were 60-2 chasing when rain caused an abandonment . We won by bowl out 2-1. A bit of good news for a change!!!
Nice story there from "still makes me laugh" if thats even your real name.... unfortunately though not true.
The guy in question took the hump when he was dropped down the order in the last few overs when Armagh were having a hit and disappeared briefly and therefore Armagh fielded with 10. And did NOT ask for a sub.
If your going to make incorrect posts at least put your name on.
Interested reading from Armagh regarding sub fielders. This is not the first time when a request for a sub fielder was turned down, I recall a request from Armagh for a sub fielder a few years ago which was declined. Reason:- Person was annoyed at being dropped down the batting order and refused to field. Later turned up too watch his former playing members struggle in the field drinking a pint and eating a fish supper much to the annoyance of an Armagh legend!
Great to see such sportsmanship from the England camp allowing Australia to "sub" the unfortunately injured Haddin for Manou.
Encouraging to see such a gesture at the very top level of the game.
ryan , if you read all the posts i was using the game at THE MALL only as a comparsion as it proved that any club can chose to travel if they want too and im on record as saying in my opinion Dundrum should have given a sub but i wasnt playing so why would they listen too me .ps im glad we travelled as theirs NO SUBSTITUTE for playing & winning .pps think it will be quite tasty home & away next year if both teams travel.
Jeff..... yet again you bring this issue up about the end of last season at the Mall. We dont discuss the sub fielder issue at the Meadow any longer now do we....
Hope theres no mistakes in the scorebook this year.
taito , i did here the lap dancers got plenty of TIPS and not on cricket technique .lol ps you can only be done for match fixing if you dont try & u me both no their will be no lack of effort in these derby games. see you 2 moro im going to order 40£ worth drink for both teams tell the barstaff its on yur TAB.
jeff couldnt take up your bets , as skipper i dont want to be done for match fixing....
Yeah i am hopeful of the game being on but the rain this afternoon wont help that is for sure.
Cant afford any bets after for your eyes only on fergy's stag last weekend. Saturday afternoon at newcastle races ladies day beats playing cricket any day lol
EDITOR, I agree with you but also im only match sec so if my club says they want too travel then they deff entitled to + i dont blame armagh or any team for what they decide ,as im quite sure before most teams had covers ther was lots games called of more to the fact that the home side had a weak team . wers robin haire ? he started this HORNETS NEST .lol
TAYTO, surely you know STRANGFORD ROAD better than me as for BETTING i will give you two bets you choose double or quits the 40£ you owe from last year ( seems like 3 years ago) Dundrum to beat (the section winners)Downpatrick ? or you can have 50/50 ill take Lurgan too win the section & us too beat you 20£ on each?? considering you work for the Halifax £ shouldnt be a worry.Think the game will be on and hope it is as at least gives fine day sat. ps you cant lose as every one(YUR TEAM MATES) says you never pay yur DEBTS.LOL
Alan . my english always was bad to try to clarify NDCC could have said on fri that they want to wait & travel with umpires but only them & robin knows why they didnt . last year Armagh rang me and said the ground & game was off but i said that Dundrum would travel + rang housty too send umpires and let them decide ,lo & behold it wasnt perfect but was playable and we won a very hotly contested game on a beautiful ground + not sure saintfield would agree but it deservedly kept us in this section & it was hard for me to not take someones word over the phone but we needed too play or we would have agreed too call the game off. I really do hope both Armagh & Saintfield get back up as they both have fine grounds & lots fine players.
Jeff
As a captain in the Premier League for 8 years, I have never travelled to a ground when the opposition has phoned to call a game off. I always ask the question 'is there ANY chance of play?' and if the answer is no, then their word is good enough for me.
I hope I never have to change this policy.
We play virtually every Saturday and Sunday of the summer (very willingly) but if a game is off then the last thing most people with this commitment need is a day standing around not playing to compound the issue.
If anyone has done in the past or does in the future use this policy to try and gain an advantage over North Down, it hasn't worked so far.
Only time will tell if that is the case in the future...
Shieldsy
jeff what odds do you give for our game being on tomorrow never mind who is going to win it? Hold on i shouldnt ask questions like that i could end up in more debt to you.
Forecast is terrible for today, not so bad tomorrow, fingers crossed we get playing looking forward to the banter
Jeff, that posting looks like a good each way bet!
Kimberley, because they didn't believe it I guess?
I'm only going by what has been posted.
I'm sure Robin and his supporters can speak for themselves.
