taito.you MISSED the point my heading you were never GOOD was a reference to your previous post that you headed BEING GOOD!surely even you not that thick as i have never seen you play but do no that you played in 1&2 so i am not stupid 2 say about your playing standard when ihave only played 3&4, so if you check out your post you will see (maybe not)that it wasnt a DIG AT YOU!PS wasnt good enough 2 get PAID but £ isnt everything even if NEITHER OF US GOOD ENOUGH 2 EARN IT !

new topic, as the mccann one is boring me , section 2 predictions (im sure i will be reminded of these at the end of the season and i hope they dont come back to haunt me):

Ballymena
Downpatrick
Lurgan
Saintfield
Woodvale
Muckamore
Hollywood
Dundrum
Laurelvale

Probably completely wrong but it would be interesting to see what other peoples opinions are ??

dont worry rodney i am a big boy, i give as good as i can can get, maybe derrick can lend jeff one of his representative sweaters to make it look like jeff played at a decent standard, im sure it would make his day wearing something that derrick had previuosly worn since he loves him so much lol

Whats all this crack about the McCanns, who cares??
They've had more clubs than Tiger Woods!!!

jeff , i hope derrick is back because the sledging will be both ways dont worry about that, and im sure it wont be just from me. Yeah i wont expect a xmas card any time soon, i wouldnt think i will shed any tears about that. captaincy isnt my bag , and i will play for whatever team im selected for. You dont have to be liked to win trophies but as we play cricket as an amateur sport i dont know about you but i play for fun and to make friends , and i have made so many over the years. The childish sledging and behaviour of some others has meant they have created enemies not only in the oppostion clubs but in the clubs they played for. Doesnt really get you anywhere!!

mark , which club you from?I Promise you this dundrum have always tried too facilitate teams &any supporters &dont see it should stop in section2?cricket is only a GAME& with not knowing most the teams think it would be nice 2 get too have bit of craic off the pitch(as we keep being told wee only up for 1 year).

Give the fella a break weed...if it wasnt for him we'd have no debate. Tayto you should get the other folk on from Downpatrick.

Mark, jeff has us built up but really we are just excited about playing in a section we've never played in before...you'd think we were world beaters lol

NEIL GILL,if you no game next DAY if you want i try get you bed for night, as want 2 c who can drink or slag the most,JOEL RECKONS HE SPILL MORE THAN YOU HOLD?did you room with him on ULSTER TOUR IN ENGLAND?whats your FUNNIEST STORY of him from then????????

TAYTO,take it you not on MCCANNS XMAS CARD LIST?id watch out for frances not genius as MOTHERS can be very protective,say one thing in genius favour wasnt MANY MORE SUCCESSFUL in STRANGFORD ROADS HISTORY??ALWAYS THOUGHT IN sport that DONT HAVE 2 BE LIKED TOO GET THE TROPHIES(MAYBE DOWNPATRICK goen 2 make u CAPTAIN?? or uplaying for seconds ?,LOL ,wish SEASON WOULD START AS TALK IS CHEAP,sure its only bit off craic.ps(RUMOUR HAS IT DERRICK IS BACK AT DUNDRUM by god id PAY A FORTUNE 2 HEAR SLEDGING HE GIVE YOU (BUT IM SURE DARREN WILL MAKE UP FOR IT IF HE NOT.LOL

I hope Jeff has read that article on 'bums on seat' because he's built up Dundrum so much they can expect quite a few visitors this season! Also we'd expect to see an SP/bookie service in place for the punters.

sorry neil you are right brian dunlop is defintely up there, apologies dunners

Cant believe Taito didnt mention Brian Dunlop among the best wicketkeepers in the N.C.U.

Thanks Taito. Maybe some of the older Downpatrick readers will have the answer. It also raises the question of nicknames and while yours looks fairly straightforward it would be interesting to hear some of the most original from readers.

i cant comment on why derek senior was called genius or what name he should be known by cause i would probably get myself in trouble.

He was downpatricks keeper for many a year and captained the club also aswell

Wasn't Derrick McCann's dad a wicket-keeper at Downpatrick for many years? I'm told he was a genius and hailed from Dundrum but I read somewhere he was also a bit of a maverick as a captain.
Does anyone know why he was nicknamed Genius?
