Cricket fever has gripped Magheramason, County Tyrone! The Bready Cricket Club is buzzing with excitement as they prepare to host the West Indies for a series of three T20 matches. This marks a significant moment for the village, transforming it into a hub for international cricket.
A Historic Rivalry Renewed
The clash between Ireland and the West Indies carries historical weight. Cricket enthusiasts fondly remember Ireland's remarkable victory over the 'Windies' back in 1969 at Sion Mills, where they bowled them out for a mere 25 runs. Now, over half a century later, the West Indies are seeking redemption on Irish soil.
Norman Allen, chairman of Bready Cricket Club, expressed his delight, stating that hosting the West Indies is a "huge" opportunity for the club to showcase its capabilities. The anticipation is palpable, with thousands of fans expected to attend the matches and many more tuning in from around the globe.
