He joins Evelyn Harmon (North Leinster), Gavin Craig (North West) and Donna Armstrong (NCU), to make up the Senior Selection Panel for the coming season.

THE ICU Women's XI's first two league matches were rain affected. The first, against Clontarf 4th XI, resulted in a refix after one innings was completed. The ICU XI batted and scored 164 for 8 in this innings, with a very solid batting performance by openers Clare O'Leary and Karen Young. The second match, against YMCA 4th XI, resulted in a rain affected draw. YMCA amassed a total of 204-6 off their 45 overs, to which the ICU team replied with 92-7 off 32 overs before abandoning the match due to rain.
