I forgot to say that Mr Daltrey has also been very quick to dismiss Fox Lodge's chances in their semi final, and they will feel they have a point to prove. A Waringstown v Foxies final would be good craic.

The best response that Waringstown can give to Stu Daltrey's article is to go on and win the Irish Cup this year. Hopefully Waringstown can make the final, and then we can all have a good day out cheering them on.

Clarence both the Waringstown & Noel McCarey articiles excellent as usual and im quite sure Waringstown can win the cup and just on young Josh Hall everyone in Dundrum was very impressed at just how good all rouder he is and have no doubt he will be top class player . Right as everyone but my wife knows i like a gamble and have few bets on backing CIYMS TOO WIN THE SENIOR CUP and think UNDER DOGS MUCKAMORE can win the 20/20 on sunday an im sure Dickie Owens will be pleased too here ive tipped CLIFTONVILLE to win the shield 20/20 so any other players or supporters or forumites fancy who will win the 3 cups im quite sure Hiler will be going for his beloved comber lads. The bar takings will be thru the roof id say.ps two young players from Instonians under 13 too look out for Ben Mellor and Thomas Luke

Waringstown Article...

Good article Hiler and straight to the point as well.

Similar to Ryan...i will be 100% behind the men from the Lawn in their quest for Irish cup glory.

Good luck lads...

Re Waringstown article..

Great article Clarence..Im right behind the WCC boys for the ISC. Really do hope (and believe) that they can do it in the semi and progress.

PS.Just ignore "Stu" he is one sad man.

Still quite a few important matches to be played yet around the various cricket leagues as we begin the 'run in' to the cricket season !

And though & behold.. when I attended net practice at Lurgan Park last nite, a good turn out were already 'beavering' away with the bat & ball !!

Usually come this time of the season at Victoria C.C. thoughts of other sports begin to linger and some players begin to drift away to play football, or indeed watch a certain Irish league football club, associated with Lurgan !

But not this season, (Not yet anyway), " Au-contraire", as Del boy would say !
No indeed,guess who has signed now for our club and was training away very keenly with the lads last nite ?

None other than the former Glenavon goal-keeper, from the Caymen Islands, West-Indies Tudor Murphy!
What 'a catch' he seems to be ! Quick bowler combined with a great eye in his head for a cricket ball and with a bit of 'fine tuning' from me he will do very well indeed, only thing is though !
Looks like no cricket match again this Saturday for me!

Ah well, there's always shopping with Mrs. Johns or wallpapering the spare bedroom (again) to look forward to !

Of course watching a premier league cricket match would be a much more pleasing pastime ! Maybe get that shopping & wallpapering done today, is Lurgan at home this Saturday ?

For obvious reasons i'll have to say North Down mate-been there,done it & have that winning mentality when it matters,never mind playin' on their home turf!!!
See you on the green baize & want a crisp five-pound note this time,no pound coins,collect enough of those singin' Westlife songs in Cornmarket!!
See ya Fri mate:-)

TURK , i had a tap in black to beat u by 3 balls but u stood over the pocket an started singing WESTLIFE then snooked me twice so it was hard earned 5£. yes was great craic an have say Cliftonville lads as good as party lads after game ive met ! just done report wwww.dundrumcc.com have look by the way the indian academy touring team scored 212 in 25 overs on the same wicket next day they were class young 16 yr old Mandar scored 51 future star but they played superb dellon went for 37 in four overs im goin watch them at donacloney thurs they playing a professional 11 start 530 aprox be fireworks a plenty mate . their wil be divorces next week double cup final weekend at comber an game sat , so i might try get my fiver back on fri ill take CIYMS win senior cup ?

Jeff,just wanna say thanks for all your craic & hospitality on my first meeting of yourself & your wonderful wee ground.
Keep up the fantastic work you're doin' at the club & as we all know you're a man who likes the odd wee wager so sorry i had to take that fiver off you-did no-one tell you i played in the Ballyclare Pool League!!!!!

Stephen - really enjoyable experience and your pal was the first to introduce himself on arrival at the ground. Saw two young quick bowlers, Nicky Chaunce & Gavin Griffiths, who are definitely 2 for the future, certainly for Lancashire. Interesting chat in the clubhouse afterwards and to hear the views of some of the guys on the selection of "foreigners" for England. And I thought it was only me who felt that way!!!

Andy Kennedy.

Mr McCulloch actually had 3 for 24 off ten overs. Including the pro and Philip McCormick. Not bad for a player now nicknamed "the administrator " by his teammates.

Andy K -

I hope my mate "Fazza", the left arm spinner for Ormskirk, didn't throw the toys out too much on Saturday!!! He normally has a wee tantrum at some stage if they are losing!!!

re Stat Man

think you might find Saintfield have scored 300+ twice as well!! well done to Rosco on Saturday on his hattrick

stat man - a certain club from the Comber area has managed that. Having just return from Liverpool (cricket not football!) I was delighted, as I'm sure "Davy" was, to learn that Mr. McCullough got a couple of wickets on Saturday. Not bad for someone who "doesn't bowl"!! Also congratulations to Jason on his fantastic knock yesterday

340 scored by Victoria yesterday. Am I correct in saying that they are the only team to have scored 300+ twice this season?
