Ireland to face Australia in cricket challenge at Stormont

18 June 2012 - 10:57am -- editor

Saturday 23 June brings the world's number one cricketing nation, Australia, to East Belfast to take on Ireland in the RSA Challenge.

After the rugby and football teams lost last week, the Irish cricket team are sure to be keen to get a result on Saturday in front of what is sure to be a huge national crowd.

Ireland also has reason to be optimistic, boasting its strongest squad ever for the RSA Challenge, with very little injury concerns and Tim Murtagh being given his first cap.  Niall O'Brien has also been called up after his recent suspension.

The match kicks off at Stormont at 10:45am and tickets are available from Ticketmaster.ie.
