Things kicked off with an interview with the club's vice-chair Gerry Murphy this morning, and details of how to follow Dundalk's progress were given. The show can be listened on the RTE Player on http://www.rte.ie/radio/radioplayer/rteradioweb.html#!rii=9:3274255:4502:02-05-2012:
This is a great opportunity for Cricket at grass roots level to be presented on an ongoing basis on the national airwaves.
Dundalk are no strangers in using as many media sources as possible to make their presence felt, they have a lively Facebook page, are regularly featured in the local press and on local radio and of course have been the focus of international media attention most notably when The Wisden Cricketer made them their Club of the Month in 2010.
