BALLYSPALLEN

Captain: Stephen Kennedy
Overseas: Kagiso Rapulana
Players In: Isacc Bird, Pushpender Singh
Players Out: Tevyn Walcott and James Cusack

Ballyspallen are looking forward to a promotion challenge this season and have strengthened their squad for the campaign.

Their new professional is experienced South African all-rounder Kagiso Rapulana, while Irish passport holding New Zealander Isaac Bird also looks a more than useful acquisition.

Stephen Kennedy is once again the man in charge and he's looking forward to the new season.
 
"We have a few changes from last year," Kennedy told CricketEurope. "We welcome our new pro (Kagiso),  alongside Isaac and Pushpender to the club, and we wish James all the best as he joins The Hills, as well as Tevyn our outgoing pro, in his future endeavours.

 
"We believe we have a more balanced squad this year, and the addition of Pushpender Singh will bring much needed experience to our young team.
 
"A few of our youngsters have been impressing in the nets, and one of them, Dillan McElhinney, will be an important player for us this year with the bat and ball.
 
"Everyone is looking forward to the season starting and this year we will be looking to improve on our league position, and hopefully we can string a good run together in the cup competitions with the view to emulating our National Cup run from last season."
