Andy, overseas players are not at present permitted to play in the Junior Cup, only in the Challenge Cup when playing against a team from the same section - see Competition Rule 8 (f)
Due to the rejigging of the Senior Cup can anyone clarify the position of professionals playing in the Junior Cup? Will they be allowed to play in the games where 2 sides from the same section are drawn together?
it is nice to see our club dundrum get waringstown in he 2nd round of the cup, it shows the progress the club are making and all the best to alan tormey as captain for 2010 season.
Regarding the Umpires,
There's no doubt all cricket umpires have a genuine love for the game, but as I've stated before, a little increase in remuneration for their continuous presence out in the middle won't do any harm at all and should help to attract a few more into the fold.
When playing in the lower leagues,we don't always get two officials, sometimes just one or none at all and when our own men stand in, our team has no hope.
Duckley gave me out LBW last year telling me; "I had to give it mate,it was'nt missing leg by much"!! And he was being serious too!!!!
Intellectual stuff there Fred...
slow bowlers what about big marty dazzler frey north down he was down way us she was not a bad man way da slow bowling...
I would also take the opportunity to wish all involved in the cricket scene at happy Christmas and a successful 2010. As for "minding your own business" I suppose its a hazard that those of us who have the cohanes to express an opinion will face. But we're old & ugly enough to withstand such arrows!
I hope not Andy. I'm a bridge builder and if there's a problem let's solve it rather than fester it, especially in the season of goodwill.
Mind you, it wouldn't be the first time I've been told to "mind my own business!"
Compliments of the season.
Really interesting debate surrounding Ireland " in a spin" regarding slow bowling options.
Who do forumites feel should be groomed to take up the baton?
Ed. - excellent article on umpiring - you realise that you may be putting yourself in line for a "mind your own business" posting!!

Re Ryan McCarter
Ryan I have purchased and read Dermotts book.
Think I purchased it via the "other channel".
It is an interesting read. I didn't really know Dermott but the book gives an good insight into his character. Another good read is the recent Armagh centenary book by Brian Weir.
I see van Wyk & van Niekerk are playing against England in the 2 day warm up game, plus that fella who turned Glendermott down last year at the last minute, Charl Pietersen.
Ryan,
Try John Elder as a starting point. Cricket Europe may have some or John may be in a position to guide you.
It's an interesting read and vintage Dermott!
Interesting to read the article and warm tributes on the forum to Dermott Monteith, this Irish spinner always facinated me even thought I never saw him play but having read bookes penned by both Edmonds and Emburey it is clear he was a top level performer.
Wonder where I could get a copy of his book?
