We look forward to making new friends and renewing old acquaintances during the year. This season will also see the unveiling of our new cricket square, which was raised and relayed in 2017 and resulted in so little senior cricket in Park Avenue. It seems to have been successful with a lovely covering of grass and no flooding at all during the winter months. To give the square even more time to settle, our first home Senior League fixture is not until 2nd June, though we do welcome Burndennett to Railway on Saturday, 19th May in an Irish National Cup fixture. We hope to host our vice presidents’ lunch on that day. I wish all captains, players, and teams a most enjoyable season. Like most clubs we rely on a small number of dedicated members to run our section, our committee, vice presidents, coaches and members; their continued help is greatly appreciated and any assistance you can offer will be most welcome. Running a cricket club these days continues to be difficult financially and I would ask all members and friends of Railway Union to continue to support all functions and social activities during the year. Finally, I hope you enjoy this year’s Annual and that all readers will fully support those who kindly placed advertisements to make the publication possible. 2 Railway Union Cricket annual 2018 Derek Dockrell, president Cricket Leinster MEMBERS AND FRIENDS of Railway Union CC, It gives me great pleasure as president of Cricket Leinster, to wish you all the best for the 2018 season. The season will have many challenges for all clubs, their players and members. For Railway Union CC, there will be challenges also but the improved facilities should act as an incentive to develop the club further in the coming season and as a catalyst in the years to come. 2018 will see the new Laws of Cricket introduced to all games and the revamped Spirit of Cricket setting out how the game should be played. Ensuring that games are played in the right spirit is very important for the game, for youths starting to play the game and for retaining recreational cricketers. I would ask players to respect their opponents and the officials and to play hard but fair; where there are no official umpires, it is particularly important that clubs and captains show leadership on what is acceptable and what is not. The game belongs to the clubs as well as to the players and it is up to all to ensure that it is played in the right spirit and atmosphere. The season will also be important for Irish cricket with the hosting of the first test match in Ireland following Cricket Ireland’s elevation to full membership of the ICC. As Ger Siggins pointed out, our first test match against Pakistan was the women’s test match at College Park in 2000 (which Ireland won). The test match v Pakistan, along with two T20 international matches against India, will provide us with high profile matches here and allow us to see two of the best teams in the world. To Brendan as president, to members (both playing and non-playing) and especially to all those who work hard for the club, I hope you all have an enjoyable and memorable year in 2018 - the 99th year of Cricket Leinster/ LCU. 3 Railway Union Cricket annual 2018 Railway Union Cricket Club Founded in 1904 President 2018: Brendan O’Brien Vice-presidents R Arulchelvan BA Grehan F O’Neill F Austin P Grehan D Robb P Barry S Grehan H O’Reilly P Byrne GS Guthrie G Penney B Carpenter L Ingram J Phelan DP Carroll N Jagoe F Savino FX Carty G Johnston G Siggins G Chisholm V Keeley B Smyth N Clarke J Mackenzie DJ Stirrat E Coburn J McNally JC Stirrat J Cohen R Molins M Tariq G Connolly T Mullen E Tillain B Donnelly AL Noone CH Tipping D Donnelly Camilla O’Brien DO Tipping J Donnelly Dermot O’Brien FO Whelan M Flanagan GF O’Brien M Whelan JR Green V O’Meara 4 Railway Union Cricket annual 2018 General Committee 2018 Brendan A O’Brien, President 42 Gilford Road, Sandymount, Dublin 4; 2692570; [email protected] Gerard F O’Brien, Hon Treasurer 4 College Park, Terenure, Dublin 6w; 01 4928068; 086 3232566; [email protected] Derek Carroll, Hon Team Secretary 13 Trimleston Avenue, Blackrock, Co Dublin; 01 2691480; 086 0622999; [email protected] Ciaran Divney, 1st XI captain 24 Derrynane Gardens, Bath Avenue, Dublin 4; 086 3066040; [email protected] Kenny Carroll 13 Trimleston Avenue, Blackrock, Co Dublin; 01 2691480; 087 2757486; [email protected] Simon Grehan 3 Loretto Villas, Sidmonton Road, Bray, Co Wicklow; 01 2860839; 086 8725271; [email protected] Nagesh Yadav [email protected] Upender Reddy 32 The Courtyard, Hill Street, Dublin 1; 086 7915410; [email protected] Senior coach: Kevin O’Herlihy 085 7130390 Child Protection: Designated person: Franz Savino: [email protected]; 085 7200649 Child protection officers: Simon Grehan (male): [email protected]; 087 1227600 Eva Fairmaner (female): [email protected]; 086 8539944 The cricket club is affiliated to CricketIreland, whose child safeguarding policy is located at:http://www.cricketireland.ie/about/child-safeguarding/ As part of affiliation we adopt the manual an its policies 6 Railway Union Cricket annual 2018 Club captains 2018 1st XI: Ciaran Divney 24 Derrynane Gardens, Bath Avenue, Dublin 4; 086 3066040; [email protected] 2nd XI: Shariq Khan 083 120 1992; [email protected] 3rd XI: Upender Reddy 32 The Courtyard, Hill Street, Dublin 1; 086 7915410; [email protected] 4th XI: Ajith Ravi [email protected] Welcome back to Ranil for 2018 season RAILWAY UNION Cricket Club extends a warm welcome back to Dublin to Ranil Dhammika for the 2018 season. Having made such an excellent contribution, both on and off the field, to our Club in 2017, we were delighted to engage Ranil for 2018. Ranil joins us from High Wycombe CC, Perth, Western Australia where he has been playing with distinction throughout their season. We look forward to a continuation of his form and to his experience and leadership assisting our young players develop and reach their potential. (Photo courtesy Joe Curtis) 8 Railway Union Cricket annual 2018 Thank you to the hosts for many of our ‘home’ games in 2017 RAILWAY UNION CRICKET CLUB endured a difficult and nomadic season in 2017. Due to re-development work, Park Avenue was not in a position to host matches in April or May and subsequently there were no grass pitches prepared to play upon. In addition, our boundary was shortened to facilitate a temporary corporate marquee. As a result, with one exception, all of our 1stX1 matches had to be played away from Park Avenue. We would like to thank Peter Savill of Oak Hill for making his beautiful ground available to us for several of our 1stX1 matches and to Russell also for making us welcome at the ground. In order to get through our fixture list, a number of clubs allowed us to concede home advantage and played on their grounds. We also made use of Wesley College and RCSI in Dardistown to play some of our ‘home’ matches. To everyone who assisted us, in any way, in 2017 to fulfil our fixture list, we would like to say “A Big Thank You”. We look forward to being back in Park Avenue for a full season in 2018.

In the absence of any Second XI cricket and the One Day Cup competition, the Bob Willis Trophy reports have been expanded to include a write up for each day’s play as well as the full scorecards. Sadly all fixtures were played behind closed doors so hopefully these extended reports will enable readers to get the feeling of actually being at the game! In addition, the Somerset Women’s team reports plus the Boys and Girls Pathway write ups are included in the first half of the book as they now come under the remit of Somerset CCC rather than the Somerset Cricket Board.

    Michael Burrows WHERE the LINE BREAKS where the line breaks_title pages.indd 2 7/10/20 1:10 pm Always the same dream. He’s still on the rock. The sun rising behind the wall of khaki-clad men who advance past him. The countless boots. The endless rifl es held at the same exact angle, tips of the bayonets rolling forward in a wave that extends as far as he can see, until they rise out of the trench, and another line takes their place. Scowling as they peer back at him. Actively running from him, distancing themselves from him as they jump up on the fi re step and clamber up the ladders, climbing up the sandbags, the cli wall, the wooden supports, their heads turned back to him with disgust in their eyes, pitying him, watching him blow his childish whistle before they step up and out into the unknown. And as the fi rst wave vanishes, the next line turns, and the same faces peer back at him, judging him, shaking their heads. And the next line. Shaking their heads. And the next. Each line turns and he sees the faces of the friends he signed up with, the boys he trained beside, the men he joked and drank and swore and dreamed with: Brennan, Stokes, Collopy, Richardson, Morrow, even Tom and Robbie. Sometimes Red. And sometimes Nugget. As they fade, the noise starts, seamlessly merging with the tick of his watch. No change in tempo, no increase in speed. The steady tak tak tak of the machine gun; the relentless, ruthless, repetitive, jarring tak tak tak of mechanical bursts that ring in his head when he lies down to sleep.

    The Great War, 1914-18 Biographies of the Fallen

    IRISH CRICKET AND THE GREAT WAR, 1914-18 BIOGRAPHIES OF THE FALLEN BY PAT BRACKEN IN ASSOCIATION WITH 7 NOVEMBER 2018 Irish Cricket and the Great War 1914-1918 Biographies of The Fallen The Great War had a great impact on the cricket community of Ireland. From the early days of the war until almost a year to the day after Armistice Day, there were fatalities, all of whom had some cricket heritage, either in their youth or just prior to the outbreak of the war. Based on a review of the contemporary press, Great War histories, war memorials, cricket books, journals and websites there were 289 men who died during or shortly after the war or as a result of injuries received, and one, Frank Browning who died during the 1916 Easter Rising, though he was heavily involved in organising the Sporting Pals in Dublin. These men came from all walks of life, from communities all over Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, India and Sri Lanka. For all but four of the fifty-two months which the war lasted, from August 1914 to November 1918, one or more men died who had a cricket connection in Ireland or abroad. The worst day in terms of losses from a cricketing perspective was the first day of the Battle of the Somme, 1 July 1916, when eighteen men lost their lives. It is no coincidence to find that the next day which suffered the most losses, 9 September 1916, at the start of the Battle of Ginchy when six men died.
