    I'm thinking of picking cricket up again,
    I played for a while at belvedere when i was 17-19.
    They started to place me in much older teams and pressure got to me and i quit, regret it now, took a few wickets, great fun.

    Is there a club that will suit me now? im 26, however i work full time 9-5, castleknock based. What are the general training hours/times, usual match schedules?

    cheers

    From Castleknock, Belvo, Phoenix or Civil service are all within 15 mins drive. I recommend Phoenix, but I'm biased! :D

    Most clubs will always welcome new members. The vast majority of games are on the weekends with trainings taking place different nights according to different clubs and teams. For example in Rush our 1's and 2's trained tuesdays and thursdays last season the 3's trained either with the 4's on a friday or the 1's and 2's depending on ability. For a list of club locations check here http://www.cricketleinster.ie/clubs Old Belvo, Phoenix and Civil service are fairly local for you. Civil service are based in the Phoenix park and play in divisions 3, 6, 10, 11 and 14
    Phoenix are also in the park and are in 1, 4, 5, 9, and 12 Belvo are on the Navan road in Cabra and are in 2, 6 and 11

    Any Taverner teams looking for a game in the coming season? We're a new team, the Diggers based in Glasnevin and we have a couple of fixtures to fill.

    Hi,

    interested in taking up the old game again... must either be nostalga or just that the world cup bug has bitten :o)

    Played quite a bit in SA when i was younger. last time I played was a 1 off game for merrion (somethings) 4 or 5 years ago.
    I'm 31 now and probably passed the sell by date... but would like to give it a lash again.
    I'm living in Rathgar, so which clubs would be best considering location and also membership fees.

    cheers

    1 is the highest division, 14 is the lowest, so the more teams lower down the more likely there are to be opportunities for beginners because the standard of play is lower


  • Registered Users Posts: 186 ✭✭crackit


    I'd reckon you'll get a fair go at either club Placebo. Phoenix 5s is a new team so they are certainly likely to welcome and give plenty of opportunity to new players. Civil Service 5s are relatively new at 2 or 3 seasons and I'm sure they'll give you a fair crack of the whip too.

    I don't play for either side so I can't comment from experience but I do know lads who play from either team. From what I can garner the turnover in Civil Service seems to be really, really high on their lower two teams. Make of that what you will.

    That said Phoenix subs are quite a bit higher than Civil Service so if finance is a factor that might come into it. Although at Phoenix they have 3 (I think he said it was 3) coaches who will help you through the year and you get some club paraphernalia so thats what you're paying extra for. At Civil Service there is no coaching.

    Best of luck with it anyway and I hope you enjoy taking it back up again. The more welcomed back into the cricketing fold the merrier!

    A new member joining Terenure costs €70 (plus 50 for the swipe card - you get to spend this so it's not lost). I'm not sure what the section fee is for the cricket after that - I'm in a different section.

    The contact details for the club are here

    Well Everybody,

    Keith Kilduff here, Mullingars newly appointed 3rds captain this year, first time ever having a 3rds team so hopefully all will go well!

    1sts play in Division4 and the 2nds in Division8

    Dara Ryan and Irfan Haider are the captains of both teams.

    As you may know we now have a new ground, moved from Mount Murray out in Bunbrosna into Mullingar town itself to St. Finians Secondary School, a new fresh mat has been laid and 2 batting cages put up also, so its going well so far!

    Just adding ourselves up on this! Take Care and chat to you all soon!

    Keith
