Bit hard on Phil there Michael. He's lost more than half a team and the new kids need time to rise to this level.
Apart from Peter Connell and Ryan Haire and a few 'vested interests' from the Dublin lobby what players are being missed?

If the NCU is allowing Cliftonville to play all their matches away this season what happens when another club says they cannot accept the fixture? Does this mean Cliftonville have to concede the points? And what happens if some clubs accommodate Cliftonville and some do not? This is a recipe for chaos and the NCU should give clear guidance right now before we reach the silly season when anything goes!

Have to say big Phil has to get it right in the next few weeks or he's on his bike! Rampaul has to be up to the task as he's the coach's pick and the young guns in the side have to be brought into the action or there's no point in having them there. Sheltering players? Give us a break, if you aren't good enough why are you there?
Ireland under Simmons has done nothing and while the fault may not be totally at his door, the end result will be his head when things continue to go wrong. Also who picks Ireland these days and if it is coach Simmons what does he really know about cricket in Ireland? He has no knowledge of club cricket has never seen interprovincial cricket and must rely on heresay, youth cricket, and 'information.' Is this a professional set-up?

jeff, that auction you ran must have made some money with all these imports ha ha. If the forecast is right this weekend could be a wash out. Is it still the same in the cup ? that if it starts then your back monday, tuesday, wednesday .....nights until you get it finished?

I havent been on lately because I've been so busy trying to get things ready for the kick off on Saturday.

Believe me, the banter will still be as high as ever although with Downpatrick getting a pro, a lot of people have backed down in their predictions for the derbies / league spots.

Downpatrick play Saintfield on bank holiday monday which will be great match for the neutral and im sure a tightly contested affair.

With regards Dundrum, our professional will be here for our first league match away to Saintfield on Saturday 10th of May so will be interesting to see how he adapts to our conditions.

Any last minute transfer news? We have signed a couple of useful squad players!

I see some wag on the other channel suggested that the North West have the best league in Ireland.

At least they appear to have the best sense of humour!

I notice the Dundrum/Downpatrick/Saintfield banter has dried up, the boys must be getting a bit twitchy now that the action is about to start!
When is the first derby?

Wouldn't you know?
Phil Simmons obviously read my posting and signed up Ravi Rampaul.
Nice one Phil. Let's hope it works out.
Is there not a place for Peter Connell in there as well? We aren't that strong that we need to stick with the same guys match in match out. He's the best opening bowler in the NCU so give him his chance.
