It's been a busy close season down at Park Avenue with three players in and out.

"Whilst it was disappointing to be relegated last year, I think it will stand to us over the coming season and beyond," said Head Coach Kevin O'Brien.

"This is a huge rebuild season for the club and a great chance for our young players to earn vital experience at first team level. 

"That's not to say we will not have high expectations for the season. I expect the team to fight and compete with everyone we come up against, and by playing smart and consistent cricket we will be in a position to challenge for the Championship and cup competitions. 

"With players like Liam McCarthy (coming off a positive winter with Ireland ‘A’ , Sean O’Brien and Zaman Safi, our fast bowling stocks will cause problems to all teams we play against."
