Does anyone actually know if CIYMS have signed anyone? I hope they do stay up, but without 2 or 3 more big names i think they might struggle!

danny, check out www.dundrumcc.com as setting up tipping forum,not big prices these(but shud win)nap kempes ,dundalk910,apache dawn720kempton.rustarix newbury240,eway aux le bann140&commander kev210.their is 4 dundrum lads got share in SAINT ERIC &it has 2 win soon or they selling so 2 day might be it250 wolverhampton.good luck. think CIYMS will make massive effort as the first year is always the hardest but they certainly wont gone DOWN easy&have 2 say that their CLUB HAS HANDLED ALL THE RUMOURS BRILLIANTLY&I WILL bet that they stay up.

senior one could be interesting this year too, i would say after all the winter movements the smart money must be on waringstown, but north down can never be written off, they still have a very strong squad there at the green and will be there or there abouts. CI i think will do ok, but it will be a very tight middle and bottom of the table i would say. NCU cricket in the top two sectiosn hasnt been this interesting for quite a while i hope the season lives up to the anticipated hype

Re Danny

CIYMS is an interesting one, very much a club on the up, both on the field and off, but it will be interesting to see how they fare in Section 1 amongst the big boys. I'm sure all of the rumoured financial offers to just about every player in the Union (bar me :( ) wouldn't be overly positive to a team spirit, but if it can get them a couple more star names they might well be competitive in Section 1. With the side they had last year it would be a struggle for them, but strengthening a few areas might see them hard to beat. I will be watching their progress with interest, despite the bad press the get (perhaps jealousy?) I thought they seemed a pretty good bunch, both 1sts and 2nds.

Re Jeff

Dont worry about Dan George - Also backed big boots well so was a good day in the end!!!!

With all this talk about Dundrum anyone any thoughts on whether CIYMS will hold their own in Section 1? Odds wise what you give us Jeff!!

I wouldn't like to be placing bets on this seasons Section 2, there are potentially a lot of leading contenders who will fancy their chances of having a good season. Saying that, a good season means different things to different clubs, some might be content with consolidation yet anything other than promotion as champions would be a failure to others.

I expect twists and turns aplenty, but won't be making ill-advised predictions.

I would have thought Downpatrick and Lurgan woud have been favourites to go back up with more strength in depth and long term section 1 experience.

This two up two down is great as it makes the league so interesting. I am looking forward to playing at all grounds (new and old) this year and think it will be highly comeptitve all season.

Jeff

Thanks for the tips - Hear the echo did you proud. Just wish I had checked back on this forum before I stuck £10 E/W on Dan George!!!

richie, yeah people are more interested in section 2 , because it is going to be such a tight league this year. We got relegated because we wernt good enough throughout the season bottom line and got in to a losing rutt, which can be very hard to get out of. Im sure we will all see who is good enough to win the league in section 2 this year and there will be a lot of twists and turns along the way no doubt.

Re : bruces' comment
I would totally agree with your comment bruce. You must believe you can win the section. Set your sights high and if you dont come up to scratch you finish mid table. Set your sights mid table and you end up fighting relegation. Is this the reason Downpatrick were relegated for the first time in their history with an approach like this?! lol is it just me or are people more interested in the fight for section 2 than section 1?? great for the game.

bruce, long time no see, hope your keeping well, of course we think we can win it , i was trying to be diplomatic, but failed misarebly since i left out armagh,

Re Taito - Your section 2 prediction surpised me - if you don't believe you can win it, you have lost before you start !
