taito, this should be cracking game( that means no score penalties) ive 10£ on both teams winning half time losing full time 30/1 so hope theirs early goal& good exciting game with man utd winning. ps dont make you sick clarence in barbados wayne (not rooney in rome ) ivan in uk thats not fair when all we get is rain/showers & cold winds. but something about the NORN IRON weather hard too leave it bet you clarence really misses our wee country?

Hi Ivan,
Yes, Reggie was certainly playing during my career, perhaps even before it, and certainly long after it! The article is no slight on a great guy as the formal history of the club will take good care of the contribution of members like Reggie. The article was more of an overview of the occasion with a few snippets to whet the appetite. And I know you have a good appetite! Best wishes.

jeff, yeah the ground is looking really well. We are very lucky to have ivan and gavin putting in countless hours working on it.

I have no doubt your boys will come back with a bang on saturday especially on your own patch. Im sure it will be a good game

Come on united

TAITO. WAS THAT IMPRESSED WITH YOU GROUND ( SUPERB ) & FACT THAT WAS GOOD GAME & WITH YOUS DESERVED WINNERS WROTE BIG REPORT FOR PAPERS & WEBSITE BUT IT DIDNT GO ON THE SITE SO WILL TRY AGAIN AFTER LUNCH. BOTH CLUBS SHOULD ALWAYS RESPECT EACH OTHER & WE CERTAINLY WONT BE CONDONING ANY BAD BEHAVIOUR. WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH A PLAYER IVE ALWAYS SAID COULD PUSH HIMSELF TOO THE HIGHEST LEVEL JAMES MAGOWAN ( BIT LIKE JOEL WEE BIT LAID BACK) BUT THINK HE WAS THE DIFFERANCE , THE GROUND WAS UNBIELIEVABLY GOOD AFTER ALL THE BAD WEATHER SO FAIR PLAY TOO ALL INVOLVED AS NO BETTER PLACE TOO PLAY OR WATCH A GAME ( WISH WAS 10 YEARS YOUNGER LOL). THINK A LOT OFF OUR PLAYERS HAVNT GRASPED 20/20 AS THE SINGLES ARE EVERY BIT IMPORTANT AS BIG HITTING, BUT CONSIDERING IT WAS THE SQUADS 2ND OUTDOOR PRACTICE THINK AS THEY SAY IN HORSE RACING TERMS THAT THEY WILL IMPROVE FOR THE OUTING & HOPEFULLY BE BETTER NEXT TIME OUT. FORECAST IS GOOD FOR NEXT FOUR DAYS SO HOPE THEIR WASNT TOO MUCH RAIN LAST NIGHT.& JUST OFF PHONE TOO TOMMY IT WILL BE ON AS WE WANT OUTFIELD CUT TWICE B4 SAT SO THAT BE 3 THIS WEEK , IT WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS YOUR GROUND BUT WILL BE SAME FOR BOTH TEAMS .PS WAS REALLY DISSAPOINTED OUR LADS DIDNT GO FOR A BEER BUT THEIR ( EXCUSE) WAS LONG DAY AFTER WORK MY REPLY WAS IF THEY HAD WON THEY MAKE TIME.

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
