  • Make the Game Safer Or Parents Won't Let Their Children Play It
    10 | SPORT | RUGBY S1 Sunday Independent 6 March 2016 Always check the background The 70 so-called experts lack the qualifications or experience to dictate to us about rugby injuries NEIL FRANCIS HIS one is about failure in the media, more specifically failure to question. I read the financial press every day. On a regular basis TI come across articles where I am told that some Gordon Gekko-type hedge fund principal or financier tells us he is really worried and he thinks sterling will devalue by two or three per cent in the next month. The explanations as to why this will happen are somewhat plausible but please . no panic. There is no byline, no author, and no references — nothing under the piece to suggest any attribution. We have no idea where it came from or who penned it. It just appeared. There is nothing to substantiate it or no counter-argument or editorial to challenge it. So we read it and repeat it to our mates. I see Gordon Gekko says sterling will devalue by two or three per cent in the next month. It then becomes a fact. What is indisputable is that it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The boys have all short positions in place and when the forest fire starts, they collect. A month later we are all blown away. That fella Gordon Gekko is a bloody genius. Put something out there in the newspaper and if nobody checks or challenges it, well then it is a fact. Wednesday evening came slowly and my editor calls.

  • Merrion Cc Newsletter
    MERRION CC NEWSLETTER June 2019 Dear Merrion Cricket Club members, Welcome to the June edition of the club’s newsletter. We have had some excellent efforts on the field, and it’s great to see some of our talented youth members coming through to the senior teams, which is a credit to the hard work of our youth section, coaches and parents. We also had a memorable Curry Night and we are looking forward to further club social events this season. In this edition we run through how all of our teams fared last month and have a special section from the club’s archives where we bookend our club’s highest-ever appearance maker with those who have made the debuts for the 1sts in recent times, and some of those in-between who have made memorable records along the way. Also, you may have seen that we are raising money for the Club through the YOUR CLUB, YOUR PROVINCE CRICKET LEINSTER DRAW. I encourage all members to support this. All funds raised go to Merrion CC, and will help fund the development of the new cricket nets that we have planned. Good luck to all our teams in the coming weeks, including the men’s 1sts in the semi-final of the League Cup. Having topped Group B we qualify for the Premier League, which starts on June 9 away to Leinster. I hope to see you all at Anglesea Road soon. Kind regards, Andrew Kay President Women’s Cricket The women got off to a great start to the season, winning two out of our first three matches.
