The Munster Cricket Blog aims to bring you all the breaking news, reports, results and more not only during the cricket season but throughout the whole year.

The Munster Cricket Blog will be your come to site for all the news from the province and further afield. These are exciting times for Munster Cricket as the cricketing community is a hive of activity. The blog will keep you up-to-date with all the goings on around the province. During the season the blog will bring you match reports as well as previews of all weekends’ action. These will be accompanied by insightful interviews and features on all the pressing issues in the provincial game.

With Ireland bursting on to the international stage we will keep an eye on their progress as they prepare to take on the world once again in 2011. No doubt Ireland’s push for test match status will be a recurring theme. We will speak to all those who matter in this debate and investigate if this small island nation is ready to take such a major step.

The Munster Cricket Blog was founded by David Gash in January 2010.

David is a 22 year old cricket enthusiast from Cork, Ireland. Growing up in a family of cricketers and living a stone’s throw from his local club, it is no wonder that this is the case. His first playing experience was that of being fielder/wicket keeper in the front garden as soon as he could walk – in other words he was sent to fetch the ball whenever one of his elder siblings hit it under the trees. Eventually he earned his stripes and was allowed to bat and bowl, albeit for short periods of time due to dubious LBW decisions and questionable catches.

David currently plays his cricket with Cork Harlequins Cricket Club and has represented Munster in the past from underage to senior level.

David is currently studying for a BA in Geography in UCC. He has a keen interest in sports journalism and has been published in the Cork Evening Echo, the UCC Student Express, as well as various websites including Cricket Europe and Cricket Ireland.

David was recently appointed as Munster Editor of the Cover Point website and Staff Sports Writer and cricket editor with the Cork Student News.

A special mention of thanks goes to Richard Gash for his time, patience and computer expertise in the designing  of the new Munster Cricket Blog website.
