Payment was never mentioned in my posting and I would state that like any scorer out there payment never crosses my mind. You score because you enjoy the game and money is something for players to discuss if they wish to. Any sniping comes from people who show their ignorance and have no respect for others. I would like to make it clear that I have not sought payment as a scorer nor see it as a requirement of going to any club.

Re : Scorers being paid

Market forces involved in todays cricket. If players are paid why not scorers?

PS Jonathan (Buggy) Lyttle is top guy

This is a post from the Donaghadee Cricket Club Facebook page. Another good news story that shows yet again that cricket is far from dead. Well done to Donaghadee but also to those within the NCU providing these coaching courses.

4 more club players have become coaches today! Big thanks to luke, Keith, Marty and Greg for giving up your free time to get qualified. The clubs future looks excellent. This time last year we had no coaches and no youth section. A year on we now have 10 coaches, have coached over 300 local children, are starting u11+u13 teams and we run the best kwik cricket scheme around! Thanks to everyone who has made this possible.

Anyone know the date of the NCU cup final next year? it's not on the NCU site yet.

Are you serious, we now have professionals into score

j lyttle how much would u cost before I name my club I have played while u have scored and I know u well so name the price

Just want to offer my services as a club scorer for the 2016 season. Many will know that I have scored at all levels and have done so since 1994 when I was asked by Denis Guy to stand in for the late great Bothwell Vennard. I have enjoyed many ups and downs and the highlight of my career has been able to meet so many different people from across the cricket world. I am willing to listen to any offers and my email is jonathan.lyttle@nihe.gov.uk

A very endearing article on the NIACUS site by Alex Adams, 'Why I do this'

Takes me back to the only time I was ever 'involved' in an NCU cup-final, 3yrs ago in a Quoile cup hosted by Derriaghy where Waringstown ran out winners against a plucky Instonians side.

Yes, I had a vested interest in the match (my son was in the Waringstown team) but overall it was a superbly organised event. The Queensway ground and facilities where immaculate and given the game was played during a weekday evening, the ground was packed with eager supporters from both sides and quite a few neutrals out to enjoy an entertaining cup final.

And what's more, adding kudos to my participation in the game, after near 20 yrs of trying and failing, I was the proud recipient of my very own personal NCU cup winners gold medallion, presented to me by none other than legendary Irish cricket international Andrew White.

For doing the scorebook !

Bumper .lets hope to see me and you opening the bowling next year in the meadow = golden oldie shoot out ? This is something that i think might work premier 14 teams section one 14, play each tean only once free up lot double headers relegation every two years if the so called junior teams want go up and meet all ground criteria to give every team time to adjust ..Premier and Ballymena.Lurgan.Woodvale. Downpatrick.Muckamore and Bangor ive no doubt it would create few one sided games but it would stop poaching and the need to PAY LOCAL players it would and think it would benefit everyone .And its time that everyone stop bitching and get on with promoting there own club as lots good things that every club can do to get juniors and seniors playing .Dundrum are going into 10 primary schools and Shimna Integrated College and running kwik cricket comp in next few weeks and plan take u-17 on tour for third year in a row (not bad for junior club). The 14 team sections would give more chance make the T20 Cups be played with proper finals day with barbeque and music family sunday days ...ps NCU can only go were clubs want them too lets keep good debates on here
