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?
i would just like to thanks clarence and rodney for the kind messages about harry, i will pass these on to the rest of the family.
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.
Can anyone give me an easy website to get the NCU and North West results every week?
Thanks.

Seems like Cricket Ireland and the new board at the NCU should be making a trip to Antigua and getting Sir Allen Stanford involved in Irish cricket. Reading and listening to him over the last two days he's on Cloud Nine with cricket funding and supporting Irish cricket would be a drop in the ocean from his resources.
Are we going to wait for him to ask us?
Rodney,
You obviously didn't play hockey against Harry!
We have some great memories of playing Crossgar especially when North Down CCHC played in the Intermediate League. The Tates were legendary and we still have the bruises to show for it!
As you rightly say Harry was a lovely person and a great conversationalist walking round the boundary. Cricket and local sport in general is all the poorer for his passing.
Sincere condolences to the Tate family.
Would just like to pass on my deepest sympathies to the Tate family on the passing of Harry, a member of Downpatrick CC. I have to say Harry was one of the nicest men you could wish to meet and I will always remember the passion and love he held for the game.
Always one to encourage I'm sure he will be sadly missed.
RIP
PC, as I said wickets and low run rate is Utopia.
As for Lara, we can't afford him.
What a pity.
re fast bowlers
interesting points made clarence, why is it that the WI no longer pump out the quick men i wonder? you are right about less need in the one day format although the best form of keeping run rate down is too take wickets! i disagree that a fast bowling pro will help the current players all that much, phill is an expert himself. he needs to flick through his phone book and get Lara over here!
Good article on the demise of the fast bowlers but if Ireland lose three at the same time would you not expect the coach to bring in a hired gun as allowed by the rules rather than throw all his eggs in the youth basket? Looking at our new attack they could benefit from a 'star' name teaching them the ropes.
Phil Simmons has got strong West Indian contacts so what about Tino Best and Pedro Collins for starters?
Can anyone help identify the Ireland U15 players in the Photo Gallery?
Portadown CC is in desperate need of a roller (to buy, hire, something short term) as their current model has broken down – on the square!
Anyone who might be able to help please contact Alan Chambers alan@datadisposals.co.uk
Hi Bryan,
I'll certainly pass on your regards. I thought Jim McMorran was the only one old enough from Cooke to remember Carl! As you can see from the photo he's in great shape and still as keen as ever on cricket.
