The t-shirt supplier has guaranteed that we will have them by Friday afternoon, so they will be available for purchase from the shop on Friday night or at the 2s cup final on Saturday in Leinster. Cost is going to be €15 and the inspirational ‘tarf cry 6,6,4,4 will feature.

5th’s game at home on Sunday against Laois will have to be refixed as the fab 5th’s will be playing their cup semi-final away against North Kildare on Sunday instead. Go Tarf!

Well done on Ado, Matt and Richie on scoring three hundreds last weekend. Just wondering if that is a club record. 3 hundreds for three different teams over one weekend. Also Connor, great idea for the T-Shirts. Hope they sell like hot cakes!!!!!!!

As we all know, we have 2 cup finals definitely coming up and a possible 3rd. I was thinking of getting t-shirts done up for supporters like Shane does for the Rugby club when they reach a final. I think this would be a great way of showing support and getting the club colours out on both days. We’d probably be talkin a tenner of fifteen quid for one. Could people please post a reply if they think this would be good and would buy. With the 2s final next week, we’ll need to get a move on.

Congratulations to Adrian Darcy on his selection for Ireland U-19’s for the Under 19 European Championships which take place in Glasgow from 5-7 August.

All subs are now due. My expectation is that all players will have their subscription paid by Friday 8th August 2008. The committee have decided that anyone who does not fall into this category will not be considered for selection in upcoming games, unless they have spoken to me directly and agreed an alternative payment plan.

If you would like to pay by banking 365, please contact me at membership@clontarfcricket.com. Alternatively, please leave the money behind the club bar or send a cheque to my home address below.

Thanks

Paddy
