Cricket Ireland have unveiled plans for the first dedicated outdoor cricket training complex in Ireland, giving top performers of both sexes and all ages the best facilities to help develop their skills on the Sport Ireland National Sports Campus.The Cricket Ireland Performance Centre will mean that cricket becomes the latest sport to join the Sport Ireland site at Blanchardstown in Dublin. The development will feature 14 grass nets, five artificial pull-out bays, a 90m outfield, plus seating and storage areas.The €600,000 development has been made possible thanks to support from the ICC, the Irish Government and Sport Ireland and a personal benefactor, Denis OBrien.The development of Cricket Irelands first-ever dedicated outdoor training centre is a huge step forward for Irish cricket, said Cricket Ireland CEO Warren Deutrom.For the first time, our performance squads - male and female, senior and junior, national, provincial and academy - will be able to train on a day-to-day basis in a state-of-the-art facility controlled by Cricket Ireland.We are grateful to the Government and Sport Ireland for providing us with the land, and to the ICC which is clearly increasing its support for Irelands aspirations - by granting first-class status to our Hanley Energy Inter-provincial competition; through our elevation to the 12-team ODI structure; and by granting an additional $500k in 2016 and 2017 to help us afford the matches.Deutrom also lauded the individual involvement of Denis OBrien, an Irish billionaire and media mogul.I would also like to extend our particular gratitude to Denis OBrien, who continues to play a vital, yet unheralded role, in the growth of Irish cricket, he said. For the last 10 years Denis has always been ready to answer our call - from supporting our team in the Caribbean World Cup in 2007 and then our first cohort of contracted players, to helping us stage our major matches and, now, helping us build our first outdoor performance centre. He has played a central role in helping us punch above our weight on the world stage and, for this, we are enormously grateful.Sport Ireland Chief Executive, John Treacy welcomed the new development saying: Earlier this year Cricket Ireland launched an ambitious strategic plan which aims to make cricket mainstream, and the development of these world class training facilities at the Sport Ireland National Sports Campus will assist this objective as the sport continues to grow.Cricket Ireland performance director, Richard Holdsworth, explained the rationale behind the new development, saying: There is a pressing requirement for such a facility to be built to service our increasing number of performance teams, as we found existing clubs are already overstretched in terms of hosting Cricket Ireland activity due to the impressive growth in participation figures in recent years.The facility will also provide a training venue for touring overseas teams; New Zealand, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and West Indies will visit Ireland in 2017.We have found that access to high-quality outdoor facilities has been a consistent theme emerging from the last two post-World Cup reviews, Holdsworth said. We have previously announced warm-weather outdoor plans for the La Manga Club Development (which is almost complete) and this home-based facility will augment that perfectly.We already have four ODI-accredited facilities in Ireland, but no quality outdoor training facilities so this will remedy that.Work on the new facility is expected to start subject to the necessary planning permissions in early 2017 with the artificial area being completed ahead of the season and the grass nets operational in 2018.Wholesale Sneakers Canada .

Mike Tomlin prefers to be aggressive, and sometimes that means taking risks.With the Steelers facing a fourth-and-1 at the Washington 29 on Monday night, Tomlin could have a) kicked a field goal; b) sent DeAngelo Williams into the line or c) call for a short pass.He chose none of the above. Under orders, Ben Roethlisberger went deep to standout receiver Antonio Brown , who beat double coverage and caught the ball in stride for the touchdown that gave Pittsburgh the lead for good in a 38-16 victory.That was the call, Tomlin explained afterward in matter-of-fact fashion. We play to win.If that means taking a gamble along the way, well, why not?On a third-and-3 in the third quarter with the score 17-6, Roethlisberger again hooked up with Brown for a 26-yard score that all but sealed the win.Were not afraid to take shots, Roethlisberger said. Were a team on third and short, we like to take chances. ABs second touchdown was on a third and short, I believe. Thats just who we are.Referring to the earlier fourth-down play, Roethlisberger smiled when recalling the view he had while dropping back in the pocket and seeing Brown work his way open.Get the ball up quick and let him make a play, the quarterback said. The other two guys were wide open, but thats my guy.For good reason. Brown made an outstanding cattch on a ball that was brilliantly thrown.ddddddddddddI had the ball in my hand. He took it out my hand as we both got hit, third-year pro Bashaud Breeland said. It was just jarred loose. Other than that it should have been my play.The Steelers didnt care who was on Brown, whether it be All-Pro Josh Norman or Breeland. The way Roethlisberger sees it, let the opposition adjust to you -- and not the other way around.We just line up and play, the quarterback said. We have a lot of respect for those guys, especially Josh, but its on them to either move guys around or do what they have to do. When ABs on anybody, we like that matchup.Pittsburghs retooled offense finished with five touchdowns and 435 yards, including 300 passing by Roethlisberger.The Steelers made both their fourth-down attempts and the Redskins failed at both. It was not a coincidence, according to Steelers safety Mike Mitchell.Were playing to win. Were very aggressive, Mitchell said. We take the attitude of our head coach. We have no problem defending fourth downs, which we did a lot tonight.Thats just the type of team we have. We practice those situations, were prepared for those situations, so we excel in those situations.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
