It is my Privilege to be asked to captain the Northern Ireland team in the APAT European Championship in 2009. It is with some sadness that I stand down from the victorious Ireland team of 2008 and I sincerely hope that the new Republic of Ireland team can manage 2nd and silver in 2009.
I will be keen to hear from any potential players who would be interested in selection for the team and am confident that I will be able to announce team Northern Ireland within the coming weeks. I would take this opportunity to invite those who may be interested in representing "our wee country" to make themselves known, either by forum, PM or email.
Good luck
