RE: Cliftonville and Mallusk
As my uncle Gerry would say "We haven't gone away you know".
Yes we have lost quite a few of our established players (mind you these established players were part of a team
relegated from section one in two of the last three seasons)and are having to up sticks again to Mallusk. Ground problems are nothing new to us at the 'ville ,since being burnt out of the Cliftonville Road , we have had a nomadic existance and called Mossley, Shaws Bridge, Mallusk, Greenisland and last season each of our rivals grounds home. Mallusk isn't ideal , but will be greatly enhanced with the wicket being rolled and covered, and sightscreens and a scorebox installed. We also hope to invest in a new synthetic wicket on the upper level which will not only aid Cliftonville's continued presence in senior cricket, but also make another cricket pitch available for hire.
Good luck for the forthcoming season to the lads who have decided to move on to pastures new , we part on good terms , and here's to the new breed or weebles as i have dubbed them, "We'll wobble, but we won't fall down".
Hi,

This is a great opportunity for anyone considering getting involved or considering doing refresher training.
Thanks

was advised at fixture meeting
Cliftonville are playing at Mallusk
Robin, you are being generous saying I bowl it at 45mph!! KP's £170k per week salary might even be a stumbling block for CI!! Good luck this season too.
any news on whether cliftonville have a ground for this season?
Will be a tough season for them with most of their estabished players leaving.
Further to my last post:
Should the PSNI C.C. or any other cricket club require the services of a player/coach. I would sternly advise against considering a player by the name of Andrew Struass should it crop up amongst the applications.(Woeful to say the least!!). Vic.
Ref-Davy.
The PSNI advertisment for a Player/coach was in the Belfast Tele.date Fri.30/1/09.(Job finder)and Sun.Life 1/2/09.(Job finder).
And as I said earlier it's good luck to them,their a huge organisation with excellent facilities and it would be great to see them return to the halcyon days of several years ago and before.
There's certainly great potential for that to happen it just needs the right person to steer them in the right direction!
Vic Jons Victoria C.C. player/coach etc!
Good to see the forum completing "closure" on the subject of finances and priority spending by clubs. Hope all the money going into "hired guns" pockets breeds the next generation of irish players ! some chance.
Re: Vic Jons
Where are the PSNI advertising?
Hughsey just think if u stopped smoking u could bowl at 50 mph instead of 45 hows things at ci any truth kp has retired from england to join ci this season.good luck this season.
