2009 Tour to Northern Ireland

1. An Interview with the President Dick Cummins

Below is an article from the 'Mid Ulster Observer' which reports an interview with Dick Cummins.  You will notice in the heading the reporter wrongly identified us as club, but fortunately they have rectified this in the article itself.

 

 

  

 

On Thursday the 20th of August the council offices in Magherafelt played host to the London Irish Bowling Association and Magherafelt Bowling Club. The London Irish Bowling Association members were over visiting for a week and hence they were invited by Vice-Chairperson Paul McLean for a reception to celebrate their visit.

I spoke to the president of the London Irish Bowling Association. Dick Cummins "We have enjoyed our time here tremendously; the hospitality of the people in Northern Ireland has been exceptional. During his week we played games at Coleraine, City of Derry, Larne, Magherafelt, Limavady and Cookstown. I wish to thank all the clubs we visited for their hospitality and good will. I have been to Northern Ireland twelve times but the Association has been coming every two years since 1970. Our association has been going now since 1956 and we currently have approximately three hundred members." If anyone would like to know more about

 Secretary of the Magherafelt Bowling club Anthony Bates added “This is the first time that we have met the London Irish Bowling Association however we hope that it will be the first of many. We enjoyed our bowling match with the London Irish Bowling Association which we held at Ritchie Pavilion at the Bowling Green where Magherafelt Bowling Club came out victorious with a grand total of five shots. It's great to be invited by the Vice-Chairperson Paul McLean to this reception. We would like to thank the council and our President Andy Scott and all the members of Magherafelt Bowling club over the past year.  We have currently twenty four members and we are looking for new new members for next April when we will be starting to bowl again and we have also a ladies club too. If anyone would like join they can contact any member of Magherfelt Bowling Club and they will be happy to facilitate."
