The Club would like to take this opportunity to welcome and congratulate Mr Ivan Harper on his election as President of the club. Ivan takes over the role from outgoing President Mr Jimmy Purcell. Jimmy remains on as one of our Vice Presidents and a valued member of the club. The committee and members would like to offer Jimmy our sincere thanks and appreciation for his service as President and indeed for all the hard work and time he dedicated to the club for many, many years.

Ivan takes on the role at a time when Balbriggan CC is probably at it's strongest both on and off the field. With our 1st team running away with the Senior III league in 2009 and our 2nd team finishing a very strong runner-up in their league we feel this season could be even better. The whole club cannot wait for the new season to start. We have held onto our core players and members for the coming season and we have already  recruited some very promising new players with some ex-players showing a keen interest to return. We will however miss the incredible talents of our young starlet Ben Heathcote who unfortunately for us and indeed Leinster cricket, has returned to his native Australia. We wouldlike to thank Ben for his contribution to the 1st team efforts last season both on and off the field and the Irish Vintners Federation would also like to thank him for his massive contribution to their funds. We just hope that before Ben returns to these shores and to Balbriggan Cricket Club that he visits a barber and gets rid of that mullet. Ben you're already a legend here at the club and in Balbriggan and Gormanston. Thanks again Ben, you'll be missed by all.

We also wish to thank out-going 1st team skipper Hugh Cashell for leading the team to an unprecedented achievement by winning every league match last season. Our new Skipper Paddy (Spudgun) Martin says "Hugh will be a hard act to follow, but with almost the same team taking the field this season we can again challange for not only the league and promotion but perhaps a cup or two as well" Talk about laying down the Gauntlet.

Finally, a full list of the new committee and contact numbers will be posted to the site shortly.
