Please note that the results of all GC matches should be submitted by the Match Secretary of the WINNING TEAM, as per the regulations printed on the NCU website. Unfortunately the handbook indicates that this should be done by the home team - the latter is incorrect. Apologies for any misunderstanding, and I look forward to receiving some results - soon - please!
RE- Andy Kennedy
Well said Andy...anyone with a bit of witt completely understood your posting, no apology needed.
Matt, show a bit of savvy mate...!
Oh dear...look what I've started!
total misunderstanding by Matt. I was simply quoting the radio broadcast of the T/20 game on Radio 4 LW on my way back from Waringstown on Saturday evening - the gist of the conversation was around a remark by one of the commentators asking "where do some England players stay when on tour in S.A.? At home with their families!" The comments about former England teams containing West Indians followed. As for Matt's comments - I never regarded myself as "small-minded" but maybe that's for others to decide or perhaps Matt is like many others just waiting to be "offended"! Maybe he doesn't do irony!
r.e A.Kennedy "west Indian" comment
Totally out of order..... small minded attitudes like this are usually reserved for the English media when reporting on Ireland cricket matches while ignoring their own teams heritage
re L.P.R. - listening to radio commentary on Sat evening - one of the commentators was referring to the number of "foreign" players currently on the England side and he reminded of the time when W. Indians such as Gladstone Small, Norman Cowans & Phil De Freitas were included.
P.S. - what about Michael Foster's stupendous catch at The Lawn on Sat? Really remarkable
I'll go and have a look in my locker, see if theres any runs in there!!
Just as Carrick 1st team made their opponents very welcome at home in the ISC, I would like to thank the Carrick 2nd squad for their time, by staying behind after our Junior-Cup match at home in Lurgan.
Despite the late'ish finish to the game and the long drive back home,most of the guys that could, stayed on for a meal and a bit of craic afterwards.
Much appreciated lads and good luck for the rest of the competition!
Park-ranger... Don't think you can just lift the phone and get urself a game at our club, when it suits !!!
Those days are thankfully over,so get yourself down to practise on a Monday nite and lets see what you have in 'the locker'.... if anything !!!!!!
And South Africa Reserves beat South Africa Firsts yesterday I see.
I was walking through the Park yesterday, and saw that beautiful sunshine and thought I might give Mr Mullin a ring and see if I could get a game in the 3rd team
Wayne
Could be tempted outta retirement!!!
Park-ranger,
Don't give England any ideas,watched them beat Pakistan yesterday... boy talk about rubbing salt into the wounds !
It should have been Ireland doing the business over Pakistan like they did before!!! Is there no justice!
Bye the way, have you played any matches yourself yet ? Now that this fine new season has begun !
Wayne's list appears to have omitted several who qualify as QCs - i.e those who have "quaffed copiously"!
Do South Africa have 11 spare lawyers that they could allow England to use?
Tim
I have been called to the Bar on numerous occassions, indeed some of my most notable performances have been at the Bar. Certainly I talk a great game at the Bar.
Based on the criteria for qualification I do not see how I could be turned down? Surely it would be discrimination not to be invited?
I also am aware that the recently injured J Terrett has spent considerable time qualifying to be a member of the Bar, Allen Coulter was not sure if he was called to the Bar but went anyway to see what it meant and whilst Turk may be a first class performer at the Bar he must be atleast 42 and should meet that criteria.
When's training? I hear Cafe Vaudeville is a good spot if you are looking further recruits.
Wayne
what about solicitors who have been in Northern Ireland for purposes unrelated to cricket? - or friends of lawyers with an Irish pass-port?!!
