Good hot seat article about the work of the NCU PRO, generally good publicity is hard to come by and all local cricket clubs have to strive to get the best publicity they can through whatever media is available, be it newspapers or the internet. Hopefully when the NCU site gets up and going again it will be able to carry as much club news as possible.

Ken A and Mark - wasn't having a dig - was purely seeking clarification - thanks for putting me right!! Maybe you should re-read my feature on the use of the forum!! and don't raise the point about his "Da" and money - he still claims I owe him dough from a bet made when I was "tired & emotional" at Stormont anniverasry match!
STEVIE , THINK YOUR SCUDDING MY TIPS .LOL GREAT RESULT FOR YUR GERS , NAP OR NAG . SIX WIVES 240 WOLVERHAMPTON &EWAY MULAZEM 330 YARMOUTH .
Have to agree on that Andy K shouldn't take a cheap shot at Andrew Haire because he is a first rate bloke and highly rated everywhere. OK so he's a squad player but in the strongest squad in the NCU he's not an automatic choice and if he wants to play senior cricket every week he has to move. Very understandable.
Also I think he has a car and I'm sure the Da helps out with the costs!

Re Andrew Haire - It's a fair indication that you've lost the argument when you start to have a dig at the author rather than addressing the point he made.
Well done North Down in the Irish Cup on a day when a lot of other N.C.U. teams were put to the sword. Congrats too to JT on his half century.
NAP DAMANIYAT GIRL 345 LINGFIELD/ COCKNEY TRUCKER 155 HAYDOCK / ELEAZAR 120 HAYDOCK / SPITFIRE 215 ACSCOT . EWAY LUCKY 15 , GOOD LUCK
Jeff,
Your nags lost again. Maybe you should go to bookies and ask what prices would they give you for Dundrum to get a game next weekend?
DUNDRUM / DUNMURRY DOWN DEMOCRAT CUP GAME IS OFF TOMORROW, REARANGED SUN 17 MAY HOME OR AWAY VENUE TOO BE DECIDED NEXT WEEK .FEEL SORRY FOR ALL HARD WORKING GROUNDMEN & MATCH SECRETARIES WILL BE TEARING THEIR HAIR OUT ( THANK GOD IM BALD ) PS TAYTO THAT CHEQUE MUST BEEN SENT WRONG ADDRESS
is this the same Andy Haire on the bus from North Down via CSNI and making a quick return trip to North Down before arriving at our current destination of Carrick? Some money spent on bus fares there!!
Would just like to congratulate Paul Stirling on his selection for the Ireland 20/20 World Cup Squad - fantastic and a well deserved achievement!
Re Mr Kennedy - I would seriously doubt that Ballymena, Bangor, Warringstown and North Down could all be given the tag of big money clubs. These 4 clubs are the last 4 winners of the Premier League in the NCU over the last decade!
Waringstown have been boosted by the fact that Kyle McCallan and James Hall will be available for the irish cup match against bready this saturday! so the team COULD look like this! i'm not always right about the team so...
James hall
Andrew Cousins
Lee Nelson
Kyle McCallan
Johnny Bushe
Tharaka Kottehewa (if over,visa problems)
Peter Hanna
Simon Harrison
Keith Morrison
Gary Kidd
Stuart Kidd
Simon Stokes
show me your clubs team for saturday!
Not normally one to advertise newspapers, but todays News Letter is well worth a look for cricket fans as todays "Bullick's View" focuses on Armagh CC President George W Breakey, a figure I'm sure plenty of you know well.
Re Wayne- Yea no hard feelings at all, had been an interesting debate but I'm not sure we will ever agree with each other! No doubt we will have the same argument next year and the year after. What sort of state is your place in at the minute- is there much prospect of play on Saturday if it says dryish?
have to take Chris Busby's part here - note Taito talks about guys playing "in ten years time". As I've posted before - where is all the so called "up & coming" talent today that was coached ten yeras ago? I note that another premier side has signed no fewer that 7 new players - what chance for their young talent? I feel the comparison between English/Scottish football is a moot point. The teams with the dough will always top the leagues. What has been the main argument about Rangers/Celtic making Scottish football a " 2 horse race" also applies in England - a 4 horse race with everyone else nowhere - Aston Villa in 6th place closer to the bottom than to the top in terms of points. This season in the NCU will be no different with the same big 2 or 3 at the top and the rest scrambling to avoid relegation - as Voltaire wrote "God is on the side of the big battalions". See - intellectual or wha'?
