Sandyford 2 v Swords by Robert O'Leary
The prize for the photo of the month competition for June,kindly sponsored by Bermingham Cameras, goes to Robert O'Leary for his picture taken at a division 12 match involving Swords 2 and Sandyford 2.
Given that we are now nearing the end of July it has been decided to extend the deadline for entries for the July competition to Monday 21 August, with the final of the monthy competitions covering the rest of the season. Hopefully this will give photographers the opportunity to find some more unusual photos, rather than pictures of batsmen playing stylish cover drives, or bowlers delivering the ball etc. Persistence, and patience, not to mention a bit of good fortune, are required to capture special moments, whether it involves batsmen, bowlers, fielders, umpires, or even spectators. (Craig Senior's shirts are sometimes worth a try!)
This weekend sees the final of the Leinster Senior Cup at the Hills - always a colourful occasion, while there are also finals of both girls and boys Under 15 competitions, a girls Under 13 final, the Senior 2 cup final, and the Women's Junior Cup final, capable of providing their share of dramatic moments for the would be prizewinner.
