If you have any further comments about CIYMS CC, please at least give your full name and what club you are affiliated with, and feel free to give me a ring anytime for a chat, as you seem to apparently know a lot about our wee club. My number is in the book if you care to look it up; as we as a club don't get drawn into the rumour mill on publuc forums. Looking forward to your call...
Silly comment Joe. Only worthy of that reply nothing else.
RE Michael Patterson
CI do have the money to fly in players, but I believe they prefer to pay ex Ireland players seeking some easy money!

Lisburn don't have enough money for a Flymo never mind flying people in!!!!

Result from Ulster Plate, brought forward a week, was Glendermott beat Derriaghy by 5wkts. Derriaghy 147 and Glendermott 152 for 5
Sore loser yes but North DOwn man no Gary. Since you are such a clairvoyant maybe you'll tell us who's going to win the Ulster Cup and the Irish Cup and put us out of our misery or are just anti North Down?
WHAT WAS THE RESULTS OF THE ULSTER
SHEILD? GOT THE MUCKAMORE AND SAINTFIELD
SCORES ANYONE KNOW HOW WOODVALE AND HOLLYWOOD DONE...
Re: Michael Patterson
Nothing like a sore loser.
Just face it, your team North Down was stuffed twice by teams from the North West and you just can't accept it.
Hey guys don't get bogged down in small print. It's not about NCU and NW it's about having the same rules for everybody in the same competition. The players you mention live here and let's face it clubs like CI, North Down,Lisburn etc have the funds to fly in players if they want to but don't go down this route. Good performances by the hired guns but is your cricket any better? After all how many NW players are paid to play in the NCU?
Trevor, a British passport doesn't always deem that someone is eligible to qualify to play for Ireland, so that would be an issue for NCU teams from my understanding of the overseas player ruling, however I could be wrong on this!!!
You are correct Stephen, a British passport has no bearing on eligibility in the NCU.
Re: Michael Patterson
Think your comments smell of double standards again.
Can't ever remember you complaining when T Khan (Pakistan), R Coetzee (S Africa), P Connell (New Zealand), A Sutherland (Australia) & L Parsons (New Zealand) do well for North Down.
Whats good for the goose is good for the gander.
Gary, Karim is from Nottingham born and bred. British Passport
Michael, although I do not agree with the flying in of players, I also disagree with clubs with more than one professional within their ranks. In both the NCU and NWCU there are clubs who opt to go down this route. So any rule change you suggest would obviously hurt some clubs in both unions. So I don't know what you mean, when you say until the rules are changed the NW teams will have an advantage.
Good point Trevor.
I think however in this instance the point is that the players flown in to play in the North West wouldn't be eligible to do so in the NCU.
Gary, great to watch if you are a neutral but if teams in the same competition can fly in players for a weekend game and teams can't then the rules need to be looked at. Strabane weren't breaking any rules but NCU clubs are on a hiding to nothing in the Ulster Cup which is why the North-West have done so well this year. Looking at the stats Strabane's two overseas pros beat North Down yesterday. It's as simple as that.
i think the batting display at comber yesterday shows that all teams should be allowed two overseas pros , great entertainment from strabanes two , in a great win
is karim from pak, if so what team?
