Dear Member,

This year sees the continuation of the Lisburn Cricket Club fantasy league competition. This has become an integral and vitally important fund raising competition for the club and I would urge you to enter a team and if you can, persuade some others to do so.


You will know that we recently held an EGM of the club at which the precarious financial situation we find ourselves in was highlighted. We really do need your continuing support with the fantasy league.


This year’s competition is a little different from the previous years and the enclosed rules highlights these differences.


The good news is that the entry fee remains unchanged for the 4th year in a row. It is still just the £20 to enter and please feel free to go where no entrant has gone before, and enter more than once! The Fantasy season will run from Saturday 6th May 2006 until the last scheduled weekend of 3rd September 2006. Once again, there will be 100 bonus points on offer if entries are received and paid for before 6th May, and that could be the difference between being a prize winner and an also ran. Entries will be accepted after that date but remember, points cannot be awarded retrospectively.


Michael Foster is once again organising the competition and entries can be E-mailed to him at leftarmfast2@hotmail.com, texted to 07740986343 or handed to him at the club at any time before the closing date. Cheques should be made payable to Lisburn Cricket Club.


Good luck!!!!


Ian Ross
Chairman

 



Half way mark in the Fantasy League and it is developing into an intriguing battle at the top. Ibiza soon to be deportee Halliday still leads the way but only narrowly to the surging Mary Simpson, the faltering organiser and the honourable challenge of the defending champion. Plenty of time and games to go in an open race.

FANTASY CUP – QUARTER FINAL UPDATE


Tony – v- Fozzy
Halligay –v- Gillian Allen
Richard Simpson snr –v Pedro
Boris – v- Spaniel

At the half way mark in the Fantasy Cup quarter final ties, I have a small lead over Tony (722-698), while Richard is winning the battle of the Simpson’s by around a hundred points (819-717). Spaniel is going to require Jeffrey N to get the finger out against Woodvale if he is to stand any hope of clawing back a 200 pt deficit against Boris (648-446) but the tie of the round is Halliday and Gillian Allen who are tied on 647 at the moment with all to play for this weekend. Can Gillian cause an upset and knock out the league leader?
