Can someone explain the chaos over the Neil Russell 'ban?'
Was there a ban or what?
Has the season started off with another North Down controversy?
found the new site guys! http://www.irishprovincialcricket.com/NORTHERN/index.shtml
sorry to see downpatrick skipper paul tait having to head to hospital yesterday with what looked like a badly broken bowling finger, had wanted to congratulate him on a fine captains innings (the things people will do to save paying a wager :-)
NCU site now longer works because cricket europe have stopped being hosts to NCU. Results for Div 1 Sec Prem 1,2&3 can be found on the cricketeurope Ireland site but you won't get lower Divs. Apparently the new site was to be up and running this week however if it is i've yet to find it.
davy , think its closed down just shorter version on CRICKET EUROPE , THINK BE GOOD ALSO TOO POST RESULTS ON HERE (EDITOR???)
The NCU site will be available again from this week onwards.
has anybody else got a problem with the ncu website? when i click on it, it goes on the the irish cricket website?
Re Paul Sayers
It isn't a rumour Paul unfortunately, our original pro, Juan Theron, hasn't been released by his state side, due to fear of injury, both to CI's and his frustrations. However I feel we could have signed an even better pro in Paul Rofe the former Australian A and Northamptonshire player. I am very sure Coops is more than happy with his move...
DUNDRUMS MATCH AT HOME TO DERRAGHY HAS BEEN CALLED OFF
I heard a rumour today that CIYMS's SA pro has pulled out on them - surely this will hamper any aspirations they have off winning anything.
Maybe cooper etc will be sorry they went now!
Having seen 'the pro' in action in many a drinking establishment in the town i would say there is a much higher chance of representing ireland for the drinking eleven. He may he even get a captains role.
All the best to everyone for the new season, hope this rain stays off i have no idea which forecast is right. I think i should take up meteorology since these guys are all getting paid big bucks and are coming up with totally different forecasts for the same day.
Hughesy - I reckon a few females and Ollies may sponsor Ireland if Pro is selected. If only to get Ollies.
Good luck to all for the season ahead. Shame CSN's game has been off for a couple of weeks already. Another season of fixture backlogs beckons!!
Wayne, that sort of call up would curb Colin's Friday night sharking in Ollies!!! I doubt he could give that up, even for Ireland!!!
Top Level Club Pros
I think there is only one Club Pro that should be a getting a cap for Ireland and that is CSN's very own "our pro". Yes lads, get our pro in there to bamboozle a few county players and the next thing you know he will be grabbing a bagful at the world cup!!!
No overseas player for Irelands FP Trophy matches.... surely a shock development?
Id like to see some of the top level club pros getting a game, especially when Morgan, Porterfield, Ranking and maybe the both O'Briens will be missing.
If the guy who was at Lisburn last season was returing he would be explosive at the top of the order!
