The Wednesday Archive Series starts up again with an article written over 30 years ago for the Phoenix 150 Centenary by the late W E P Protheroe-Beynon on the state of umpiring in the late 1970s. The full article can be read by going to Archive > Articles. We are looking for more articles to go into the Archive. Anyone with copies of old club brochures or with access to articles about the history of cricket in Leinster or Ireland please send them on. We would be happy to include them in the Archive.
