This is a discrace. The Dungannon club must be supported by the NCU.& ICU.The 08 section 3 league results should be declared null and void and the same teams play in this league in 09. Cricket west of the Bann must be supported and a club like Dungannon which has made good progress despite not having full control of it's ground,should not be penalised because of a situation which is not under their control.

I agree with Ronnie Charles. I also think that Dungannon Council should never have permitted the cricket ground to be used for such a ghastly purpose. Haven't they heard of the mudbaths at Glastonbury? The country fest could have been held in a field out of town - there are plenty of them. It is hard enough to engender enthusiasm for cricket in Northern Ireland without rendering a ground unusable and causing matches to be cancelled. This would not be allowed in England. I do not even think the concerts at Stormont were anywhere near the cricket ground. It is indeed a disgrace, whatever way you look at it.

The question should be asked of the council, what was wrong with the perfectly good road on one side of the pitch. Hopefully the outfield surface and drainage will be reinstated to it's previous state and the Council can learn from this mistake and when planning any future events. Shifting responsibility on to the event organisers to "leave the area in the same state as it was given to them" is not a sustainable approach to management of an event like this.

This is heartbreaking for dedicated members of a small club which for years has fought to survive and has offered opportunities to some of us who try to make up in enthusiasm what we lack in talent. We play a minority sport but since moving to this location have rarely played a match without casual passers by stopping to watch for a while on a Summer afternoon. We need the support of the NCU and ICU because the leagues in which we play need our presence. Come on UTV put some pressure on the event organisers, this is just not cricket.
