LCU Under 13 Squad

February 5, 2010

Congratulations to Rory Anders, Adam Chester and Eoin Cleere for their selection to the LCU U13 squad for Easter training sessions. They will also be eligible for selection for the extensive U13’s programme in 2010, including the Interprovincial series in Belfast, matches at home to Hudson Park School (South Africa), Bedford Modern (England) and a tour to Taunton.

Also worthy of mention are Ben White and Dev Dismore who narrowly missed the squad. Hopefully their performances in the early season matches will enhance their case.


A Statistical Landmark

January 29, 2010

In the 2009 season an important landmark for our most recent International went unremarked. And it was actually a double landmark. Dave Langford-Smith passed 2000 career runs AND 200 career wickets in Leinster League and Cup competitions.
In terms of batting, this leaves him ranked 17th in the list of players still playing:
