CRICKET
IRELAND DON’T FIND
IT EASY
Ireland and Scotland secured automatic qualification for the
cricket world cup after topping their leagues but Ireland were very lucky to
finish top after they needed to win on the final day and two other results to
go their way which they did.
The Netherlands secured a win against Namibia to secure a
spot in the world cup the Netherland would need to improve in the semi-finals
they are always a threat in this type of tournament. Hong Kong defeated Afghanistan
in the second/ third play-off they are definitely the surprise package.
Afghanistan showed a little bit of style at the end of their
game against Papa New Guinea to secure their spot in the world cup but as top
seeds they were expected to do better they had to go into the fourth place play
off to do so
Ireland will play the Netherlands in the semi-final while Scotland
would play Hong Kong and in my opinion
one match could be as interesting as the other.
BOXING
FRAMPTON GETTING BETTER
Northern Irishman Carl Frampton fought and beat Alenjendro
Gonzalez Jr to secure his IBF Super Bantamweight title but had a few early knockdowns early on and did look quite nervous in the
early rounds. But he did get better as the fight went on looked very strong in
the later rounds. He did have a problem with his weight but I don’t know what
exactly that means for him. I would not be surprised if Gonzalez Jr won the
World title in the next few years but I do think that Frampton was a very lucky
boy on Saturday and now they show be aiming to fight.
This was his first fight in the USA and I think that a fight
like this can only help him in setting up the big fight against Scott Quigg or
Mexican Leo Santa Cruz maybe that fight can be set up in the US
