I used to play cricket at schoolboy level, the team I played for won an all-Ireland competition and qualified for a 3-day long tournament in Trent Bridge. What an experience that was at 15 years of age. I miss those summer evenings. I batted number 5 and my highest innings was a 49 not out <doh>
 
New signing to be announced tomorrow - presumably our overseas player for some, or all, of the season.

(Although with the champions trophy falling in the middle of the season, it'll be harder than ever - what with the IPL, CPL and international cricket - to find someone decent for the full season. Limited really to players whose international careers are behind them. I think ECB are quite strict on qualifying criteria since last season, so up-and-coming player who haven't yet broken onto the international scene find it difficult to qualify. So my thinking is a season of two, maybe even three, championship overseas players in different spells.)
