I first noticed I was losing interest in cricket when the various local visitor attractions started becoming more enticing than the actual cricket.  It started with the Exporlis Aquarium, which seemed much more enticing way to spend a day than getting a hiding at Downpatrick.

Larne legend Michael "Buckets" Waterman has sensationally announced that he may be close to bringing his 32-year cricket career to a close.  He spoke out after an un-savoury argument during Saturday's league game between Instonians seconds and Larne at Shaw's Bridge.  A clearly emotional Waterman spoke to journalists on Sunday morning, just hours after the argument that appears to have shattered the once brazen wicket-keepers confidence.
