Stirling cracked his 92 off 84 balls, Joyce scored 84 off 67 and Niall O’Brien chimed in with an unbeaten 79 off 60 deliveries. It was Ireland’s SCOREBOARD first win over the West Indies in six official matches and the first victory at this World Cup NELSON, New Zealand: Complete scoreboard in the World Cup Pool B match between West Indies and achieved by a team batting second.

  • Rostrevor College
    A CATHOLIC ALL BOYS’ DAY & BOARDING COLLEGE IN THE EDMUND RICE TRADITION Reception to Year 12 ROSTREVOR MAGAZINE APRIL 2017 Why Rostrevor? With Eric Mercer Casey and Colby’s Dad Financial Planner Why did you choose Rostrevor for your boys? Initially it was the sense of tradition, I didn’t go here, I’m not an old scholar. I had friends that went here, heard a lot of great things: big open spaces and lots of opportunities. Both of my boys are into sport so it just ticked all of the right boxes. If you asked your sons what they liked about Rostrevor what would they say? Probably not in their words but a sense of belonging and a sense of brotherhood; it is a boys school but there is something special about it, boys really connect and bond forming great friendships which is not something found at most schools. How have you found the community? Very close and very involved. As a new parent coming in you are of course a little apprehensive not knowing anyone, but everyone welcomes you in and you in turn become involved in the school. It’s very close, everyone pitches in, it’s a very tight-knit community. What does See Further mean to you? See Further means to me vision, having a plan and working towards it, the opportunity they have, where essentially they can be anything they want to be. What has surprised you about Rostrevor? The down to earth community feel; everyone is really involved in the school a lot more then we initially felt, everyone is really approachable from the principal through to teachers and parents.
