Division 10 review - Part 1 - Dundalk triumphant

Division-by-Division Review by Fantasy points - Division 10

Division 10 saw 218 players take to the field, although 86 of these only played one or two games.

League Winners – Dundalk

What a great result for Dundalk, a relatively new club in County Louth. A record of 10 wins, 2 defeats, 1 no result and only 1 walkover win saw them top the table on percentage and points. One hopes that with continued peace, if not prosperity, in the region, they can continue to swell their ranks from north of the border and spread the gospel of cricket to all comers. A most friendly club and well worth the trip up the M1. With the upgraded motorway system, Dundalk is now as close to central Dublin in terms of travel time as Rush or The Hills used to be. With Dundalk and Longford and Slieve Bloom all in the same division, transport must have been as much as selection factor as form for some clubs. Just remember if you are baulking at travelling to one of these clubs you only have to do it once, they have to travel every other week.

Dundalk will be enthused by their league victory and no doubt will enter the 2016 season in optimistic mood, no matter where the OCC put them. Slieve Bloom will continue to put the mileage (kilometerage?) onto their vehicles and probably trophies on their mantelpiece.
