Armagh Cricket Club Ways to Support the Club 2014 Season Team Performances The season saw records being made and broken by our players. In 1958 Leslie Spearman who was one of the best batsman ever produced by Armagh scored 121 against Milford, this was a Club record and stood unbeaten until July 19th on the Mall against Drumaness when Matthew Steenson struck a wonderful 151. His century was a huge 6 which almost hit the Pavilion. This now stands as our Club record. Leslie came down to the Mall to meet Matthew during August, it was a memorable occasion. See Photograph taken on Leslies visit. After hitting his 151 Matthew followed this up on the 9th August by hitting 124 also on the Mall. Highest Scorer Colin Russell was our highest run maker with 509 averaging 33.87 per innings. This also set a new record with Colin achieving 500 runs in 4 consecutive seasons, lets hope for many more good performances from Colin. Highest Wicket Taker Opening fast bowler Harry Doyle completed his 100 wickets. This happened the same day that Matthew hit his 151. Dismissals Wicket Keeper, Gareth McCarter achieved 150 dismissals. Gareth may be our most successful wicket keeper but as catches are not recorded this is difficult to prove, however a great performance by Gareth. The 1st X1 finished in third place in their section winning 11 of their 18 fixtures, a solid team performance. We set out Team averages as complied by Brian Weir , thank you Brian. Captain was Michael Villiers. The 2nd X1 had a difficult season and were relegated to Section 5 for 2015. The team struggled losing players to the 1st X1.Changes need to be made to the Team Selection for 2015 to avoid this situation continuing. Captain was Matthew Brownlee The 3rd X1 Played 14 games and won 5. They were finalists in the Minor Qualifying Cup for the second season but lost out to Ballymena 4ths .In the semi final the 3rds beat Donacloney 3rds with Andrew Williamson hitting 119 and Paul McCord taking 4 for 51.

In the second half of the nineteenth century, driven by the public school ideology of muscular Christianity, participation in team sports, principally football and cricket, came to be viewed by social commentators as a central characteristic of the ideal English man. The ideology of muscular Christianity then spread throughout the rest of Britain and its Empire via schools and imperial institutions such as the army and civil service. By the end of the century the practice of sport was central to the conception of the manly imperial Briton. At the same time subjects of British rule began to participate in British sports in increasing numbers, leading to a public debate on their ability to embody imperial manliness.

THE GAME OF UNITY?: THE 2007 CRICKET WORLD CUP AS A CATALYST TOWARD CARIBBEAN IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION by PETA-GAYE J. WIGGAN Under the Direction of Dr. Leonard Teel ABSTRACT It was paramount for the English-speaking Caribbean to host a successful 2007 Cricket World Cup and field an outstanding West Indian cricket team for the international sporting mega-event. For CARICOM and the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), there were two principle goals – first, to exhibit regional Caribbean identity, and second, to be triumphant under the leadership of the West Indian cricket team’s captain, Trinidadian Brian Lara. Identities are multifaceted and intricate, negotiated and renegotiated, based on a history of economic, political and cultural forces. This thesis interrogates Caribbean identity through textual analysis of the broadcast of the opening ceremony and regional newspaper coverage of the spectacle as well as ensuing events that were held in eight of the Caribbean countries from 11 March to 28 April 2007.

  • A Social History of the Cricket Tours to New Zealand in the 1930S
    Confirming Tradition: Confirming Change – A Social History of the Cricket Tours to New Zealand in the 1930s Owen Mann Programmes of the cricket tours to New Zealand in the 1930, courtesy of the New Zealand Cricket Museum. A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Arts in History Victoria University of Wellington 2011 i Abstract This study examines the eight tours to New Zealand by visiting cricketing teams between 1930 and 1939. There were four tours made by the Marylebone Cricket Club along with inaugural visits by the West Indies, South Africa, an England Women's XI, and lastly the Julien Cahn XI. These tours were major events for contemporaries, attracting large crowds and much attention in the press. They are a focus for an examination of New Zealand’s relations with other parts of the world, specifically other parts of the Empire. The tours were major sporting events, but also prompted wider popular and public discussion of nationhood, race, gender and the role of sport in society and the Empire. For the New Zealand public in the 1930s, cricket was a game that connected them with their British and imperial heritage during a period of uncertainty. For the cricket community of New Zealand the tours were massive undertakings due to the substantial financial commitment required and poor results, but the tours continued because of the strong associations and core beliefs that cricket nurtured and because of a love of the game. Though these tours contained few moments of on-field achievement for the hosts they say much about how New Zealanders of that decade viewed themselves and others.
