well done to all at the star, when we all went to the Star, cricket didn’t get a look and you kept quiet about playing it, as it was all GAA and Soccer.
Well done to all who have put the time and effort into making the connection with cricket and hers hoping that repeated success can be achieved on the back of this great win, and who knows it may not be too long before we have more Irish Cricket internationals from the Star.
Well done to Star and my neighbour Sean Condron , somewhat divided loyalties considering the make up of the Castleknock side. But I have to go with the school my son attends.
