Back to cricketing matters.
I see there are/have been matches arranged for Fridays as one or both of those sides don't play Sundays. How do these teams manage to get a decent side out when most of us are working all day fridays? can clubs refuse to play on a friday because of this? and finally can teams refuse to play fridays because they're Islamic? not being anti christian here at all but should we cater for one religion ahead of another? friendly debaters only need reply
Too much rumour-mongering - get cricket back in focus and spotlight on the Muckamore CC initiative this weekend V Waringstown - two great clubs to hopefully lift the gloom & whispers - with positive action on the field of play
What's all the furore - storm in a 'D cup' - make sure cricket is the winner!
Heard rumours that the "White" incident wasn't the only assault to take place this weekend. Anyone hear of what happened at the Academy/Armagh game?
hi, di lisburn play csni in the twenty 20 cup last night? if so what was the result?
The lighter side of cricket.
During Saturday's Inst 2s v. CIYMS 2s CI chasing a large total of 302 made things very difficult for themselves with 3 run outs. Kamakazee running was the gleeful call by the Inst fielders.
After another 3 mixups but no run-out the cry was 'IRISH KAMAKAZEE' running meaning they had three successful missions.
In contrast to other sour and demeaning incidents this at least shows there is still humour and fun within this wonderful game of cricket!
re David Scott - I think you might be mistaking me for the former Minister of Culture Arts & Leisure! You won't hear any adverse comments from me about the late night behaviour or otherwise of Woodvale players. Alright, they can be feisty but your dinner is always a most enjoyable event - and sure nobody died!

Quite agree, strange posting. Surely allegations of assault are not to be taken lightly.
I also noticed the posting from the News Letter correcting its reporting of the incident which goes to show that even the journalists can get it wrong. What chance do mere mortals have! Even people very close to such an incident may not have fully understood what happened. It is best to let the authorities decide on what is fact and what is fiction.
Just read a posting from "Char McCrum" on the other channel who accepts the breaking of stumps and assaults and asks for people to behave "like men" and "learn from it." Well Char you obviously haven't learned much from it! As Nikki Lauder would say "you are completely mad."
Hopefully you are not the Charlie McCrum we know as a cricketer and just some bouncer at a Limavady nightclub.
....or press reporting of late night appropriate behaviour from Woodvale players....
(thought I would get there before Andy K did)
Re Colin
If your friend's, hairdresser's, husband's, dog walker is talking about it then it begs the question is there such a thing as bad publicity?
People I know who would never talk cricket (even through the World Cup) all of a sudden are!
Maybe we should organise to have controversy at every match or press reporting of late night inappropriate behaviour from players.....that might bring the crowds back :)
You are entitled to your opinion Jim. I just think that something as sensational as this, happening in our premier cricket competition, between two of NI's bigger clubs, will always be subject to discussion. My point is that hearing things first hand on a forum or in a press release is much preferred to hearing it from my friend's, hairdresser's, husband's, dog walker, who happened to be on the tow path and heard the Instonian's boys talking about it during a practice session :-)
Get back on the gang mower Park-ranger and forget about reading newspapers when you've work to do !
And while you're at it...will you run the heavy roller over our wicket a few more times than you usually do ?
I can't afford any more no-ball penalties when the ball doesn't bounce after I've bowled it !!!
Not being affiliated to any of the clubs involved, but my view is that it should be left to the 2 clubs and cricket Ireland. It doesn't matter what went on and by whom. Whispers, chinese or not are not good for cricket.
The Belfast Telegraph article certainly does shed a bit of light on the situation. Very interesting indeed!
