Have Muckamore been awarded the key to the City for their outstanding services to Cricket and the Community? They can do no wrong! Soon every cricketer in the union will be playing for them! Muckamore XVI's for the Junior Cup and League Double!!!

I thought I stumbled onto their Club Forum instead of ULSTER CRICKETER

Change the tune

Is that Terry mcloskey that plays for the 3rds and then can drop down 5 leagues and play for the 6ths? Questions need to be asked

Dear Clarence in response to you asking for me to use my own name why don't you check the scorebook from Sundays match north down 4ths v muckamore 6ths I happened to open the bowling and we bowled your team out for 58 maybe my punctuation marks are missing but there is nothing wrong with my memory as during our innings just as a coincidence I was sitting next to you can you not remember lol
PS I am writing this as terry McCloskey aka terry mcloskey

Chatting with e

ulster plate date change have clubs been asked? people knew irish cup date would clash bit unfair as now clubs will be stacked with the non starred first eleven players after all it is a second eleven cup can the clubs that the ground situation does not effect them be allowed to play on the 11th of june

Walkovers.

I wonder how many recent walkovers are a result of the
' young cricketers playing in adult cricket' ruling?
Fair enough if the ruling is for safety, I think, but to exclude every child except the few most talented youngsters from cricket is probably going to cause these walkovers.
Wouldn't it be better to look at what already happens and work with it? Perhaps J6,7,8 should play in a minor mixed abilities division, and cap the input of adults rather than children.
Sometimes it almost looks as if the NCU evolutionary cricket clock ticks in reverse.

Terry (in carnlough bay) - you and your twin (Mike in Benidorm) have a remakably similar English prose style!
Obviously learned the art of the single sentence at your Granny's knee who no doubt you would tell us was a better player than most now on view.
PS ....... some full stops for you to be going on with.

see csni 3rds beat derriaghy 2nds did they bat second to win

Another poor show from the Ireland. There has been little or no progression since Bracewell was appointed. The same failures selected every game just because they made double figures 10 years ago or managed to take a wicket in some meaningless game.
Time for a new coach and a chance given to the best performers from the Wolfhounds and Inter-pros.......After all, they can't do any worse.

wtown the team to beat this year bollocks no backbone beat a very poor ndown team start of season out of cup inst the team to beat cricket in premier league poor pros just want money northern knights wow what a team poor selection and same as Ireland no balls to drop players

A frightening amount of walkovers already and just a few weeks into the season. A season of good weekend weather will clearly show the plight of ncu junior cricket.

cricket a game calculated and broke down into averages well here is the unhealthy statistic 5 matches scratched in the junior leagues every week since the season started no wonder at least 55 people from the opposition team getting disappointed and wondering when the cry off telephone call comes I think I am going to hedge my bets now and carry the fishing gear in the boot of the car even rain cant stop that pursuit lol

Leave Glen alone. He just wants the best for his club. I want to ask a sporting question. If you get a ban from one sport, say 6 weeks in Rugby, should this cover all sports so we all stand together to protect sporting discipline? Or should people who misbehave in one sport just move on to another?

I have seen this Graham Glen guy play and he definitely ain't no first team cricketer. He don't even know whether he is a bowler, batsman or a wicketkeeper. He is trying everything so fair play to him. At least he is willing to try. What he lacks in talent he makes up with his effort. So keep going Mr Glen

Leinster have had an online registration for years. They even require photos to be uploaded. AND they charge €15 for the pleasure. Registered players and the Starring lists are displayed on the club notice board, available for the opposition to examine.
NCU are Luddites! Get into today's world. Nay-Sayers that are always finding reasons not to change anything.
Rant over, but I remember being handed the opposition's book to score in and finding a sheet of paper stuck into the back saying 'Use these names .......!!!!

Don't see the problem with young players such as Hood, Burton, Magowan and Smyth playing for their 1s on a sauturday and 2s on Sunday. All these guys are under 21, Why should these young players be denied the opportunity to play as much cricket as possible? Not as if they are playing for their 3s in junior 8!
