well jeff what was your take on the game last night? just a warm up for the main event on saturday..... Just sows though the respect that both clubs have for each other as there was not one bad word said between teh teams last night
I think it's a bit strange to read about the great history of Armagh without a mention of Reggie Stinson. A loyal one club man who at his peak could have played at a higher level and who I believe has taken over 1,000 wickets. A great on field competitor and good company off the field. He has also served as captain and as Club President. Surely he was playing during The Editor's own career.
Nice article on Armagh Cricket Club. What a phenomenal setting it is to play cricket. Well done to all the guys down there and good luck in 09.
tayto , think both clubs have healthy respect for each other as far rather win or lose too yous as travel 40 mile too have the same + really feel bad that saintfield arnt in this section as they great lads & very good cricketers.
yes jeff im sure our cast offs will know their way about no worries (thats a joke before anyone takes it the wrong way).
O yeah i dont think we could play any derby match against you boys without trying, we are up for both games. Looking forward to it
TAYTO , NO POINT AS YOU NEVER PAY UP BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU WE WILL BE TRYING 2 NIGHT BUT IM ONLY INTERESTED IN SATURDAYS GAME AS NO DOUBT YOUS WILL BE AS HARD TOO BEAT AS TRYING GET £ OFF YOU . PS MAKE SURE THE 4 EX DOWNPATRICK PLAYERS GO TOO THE AWAY CHANGING ROOM LOL PPS MIGHT BE BIG GAME FOR THE UMPIRES !!
chris, I can only tell that in section 1 what your saying is correct, two goes at match 1, then match 2 is 20/20. if that cannot then be played the game is a no result. Neither team getting any points. i am not sure if section 2 is the same. So basically i have been no use to you at all.
Jeff your quiet today??? Not stirring the pot before two local derbies in 5 days? 20/20 game agianst dundrum at stangford road tonight should be good im sure there will be a bit of friendly banter
Thanks for the reply Ryan! Its probably something we should get confirmed because when we do (if ever) start playing if we end up playing 50 over matches when we should be playing 20/25 then I can see alot of matches being voided!
My understanding of the rules is that there are two match 1's if the game is called off because of bad weather (which will obviously be the majority of matches) so match 2 (which is actually the third attempt) would have to be a shortened game!
Can anybody confirm?
re Chris,
My reading of the rules was that on the second rearrangement the option was available to play a 25 over match, not sure whether it was compulsory or not though.
As for a match being voided, presumably if it isn't played by the end of September!
Any fixture secretaries got any hair left? :D
Quick question- trying to make sure of the rules here!
Am I right in thinking that a game rained off twice in Section 2 (formally 3) MUST then be a 20/20 ie. It can't be a 50 over match even if both teams agree? This is the impression I have got looking at the NCU book.
Additionally, is there any stage at which a match is voided because it has been rained off too many times?
Cheers
if lurgan do not play sundays when is their rearranged date for the match against ciyms
Great to see some key contributions from a number of Ireland players in the matches yesterday. Their increased professionalism and Ireland committments mean they cant always feature but when they do they can make the difference.
Almost did the same with the Fox Lodge and Donemana results James!
That's the great thing about sport because you can come onto forums and bum and blow all you like but its the results that count. We've a few forumites that can't see any farther than the Glenshane Pass but they can easily whind a few people up!
On behalf of NIACUS, I want to pass our condolences on to the Beverland family following the recent passing of Charlie. It is hard to know what to say in these circumstances - our thoughts are with you. I know from my colleagues that Charlie was a great cricketer and a good friend to NIACUS over the years. We are all very sorry for your loss.
I nearly choked on my cornflakes this morning when I saw that Limavavdy had lost in the Ulster Cup yesterday - having read Mr Moore on the other channel I assumed they wouldn't lose a geme all season they were so good!
Well done Inst (And CI, N Down, Lisburn and CSNI)
