Deeply saddened by the passing of Charles Beverland - a true gentleman and great competitor who never flinched or gave an inch - gutsy and a vital cog in the superb NICC 80's machine. Rest in Peace.
Very sad news to hear of Charles Beverland's death yesterday.
Charles was a lovely man whether on the cricket field where we had many battles with each other or off the field when we just loved chatting about sport in general.
Charles was the rock of North's batting line up for many years and became the first amateur to score 1000 N.C.U. runs in a season.
Deepest condolences to Betty,Emma,Megan,Charles,Chloe,Patrick and the entire family circle, from everyone at North Down Cricket Club.

re Andy
Yes Andy and the bowler in question has never turned a ball in his puff before!!!
Magnificent Ireland!
Hats off to the boys for a great win.
Look at Connell's figures! Will he now be snapped up by a county or maybe New Zealand?
Andy K - re Don Savage. The answer is that you can't. It is not for sale, Don had a number (maybe a few hundred) of copies printed which he distributed to family and friends, members of Lisburn CC and some of those who he met and shared tales with from over clubs over the last 50/60 years. I am sure there is a copy kicking around the Lisburn CC bar however, so next time you are umpiring at the Park, you can maybe have a read over a pint after the game (subject to your performance ;-)
I see that Clarence has a feature on a book by Don Savage. I recall doing a turn at a Lisburn dinner but he was the "star" turn with his review of the season in verse. Can anybody tell me where I can buy a copy?
Re Paul Stafford - I simply make the point! The bowl out that we facilitated on Sunday - the ball was dry - they didn't leave it lying around in the rain - and as it had been covered the pitch was relatively dry yet the score was 2-0. And one guy turned it square.
Paul
I dont think that excuse cuts it. Top bowlers should be hitting the stumps 4 times out of 5. After all there are three of them!
Wet ball or no wet ball, there's no excuse.
Paul - a bowlers response !
As a batsman (allegedly), I think there are far too many LBW's given these days.
Bowling one delivery on a mat with a wet ball is not the same as bowling lots of deliveries with a dry ball on grass. Therefore it is fairly safe to discount the theory of 'no lbws' because of the low success rate of the bowlouts.
IVAN , WAS DISSAPOINTED AT MISSING THE GAME AS MOYLENA IS LOVELY GROUND & I WOULD ALWAYS BUY MY MATE ANDY A DRINK & HE MIGHT HAVE NEEDED A FEW AS HEARD HE WENT FOR 17 IN 1 OVER .IT BY ALL ACCOUNTS WAS A VERY TOUGH GAME WITH BOWLERS DEFINATELY ON TOP .DO AGREE THAT IT WILL BE TIGHT LEAGUE & THE LADS WERE VERY IMPRESSED WITH CRAIG DRUMMOND WHO I DID SAY LAST YEAR WILL BE A STAR OF THE GAME, DUNDRUM WILL ALWAYS PUT UP A FIGHT AS THEY WANT TOO SHOW THAT THEY CAN PLAY AT A GOOD STANDARD.
