RedRob72 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I used to live next to Stormont. There's a Civil Service sports club next door to Stormont (on the Upper Newtownards Road) so I'm pretty sure it would be there. Wow, don't really know the Newtowards Rd that well, and certainly didn't know that this was up in that neck of the woods? Looks a decent facility!!

topcat(The most tip top)01 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 It's raining again here in Edinburgh but Scotland are having a significantly better day today. Afghanistan Chose to bat first and were doing well until Shah fell to Sharif for 84 leaving the visitors 131/3 after 28.2 overs but now the Scottish bowling attack seems to have found some bite and a further 3 wickets fell in the next 8 overs for 40 runs. Mohammed Nabi is the last serious Afghan threat with the bat and he'd hit 14 off 14 balls before the rain 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
