IT’S PARTY TIME

The Irish cricketers not only managed to achieve a famous victory over England on the pitch on Wednesday night but also achieved a smash and grab raid on their opponents’ beer stash, Barry Chambers, media manager of Irish cricket, reveals.

WHEN John Mooney struck the winning boundary against England at 10:27pm in Bangalore on Wednesday night to spark euphoric scenes in both the Irish dressing room and the stadium, I knew what was in store as Media Manager of the Ireland cricket team.

Sure enough, within seconds of the victory being secured my three mobile phones started ringing and haven’t stopped since! Media outlets from around the globe wanted to speak about this magnificent upset and from Melbourne to Mumbai, and Bangalore to Belfast, they came calling.
