DONEMANA

  • Captain: William McClintock
  • Overseas : TBC
  • Ins : Gary Neely
  • Outs : None

It was a trophyless 2021 for Donemana, but skipper William McClintock is determined to get the Holm club back to winning ways this season.

With Andy McBrine's availability likely to be severely impacted by a busy international season from the end of June onwards, it's going to be difficult for the club to sustain a consistent league challenge, but they are always a threat in the cup competitions.

They welcome back former Irish international Gary Neely, who will certainly strengthen their pace bowling options.

The club have been frustrated thus far in their attempts to secure an overseas professional, and it looks likely that they will have to start the season without one, but hope to have it resolved sooner rather than later.

"We are all looking foward to the season and hoping to improve on a disappointing one last year," skipper McClintock told CricketEurope.

"Our expectations are the same as every year, in that we hope to be competing for the league and all the cups so nothing has changed there.

"We are trying hard to get a professional as we’ve been let down by a few so far due to them not being able to fully commit to a full season, but we hope to have signed one come the season.

"Our squad is pretty much the same bunch of players, with Gary Neely also joining."
