Players
Rory  Anderson Member profile - no photo available Rory Anderson
RHB, RAM;

Rory attends St.Andrew's College in Booterstown and has been one of the success stories of the YMCA youth development programme.
A steady opening bowler who bowls in that 'corridor of uncertainty' he will only get better and better. His batting improved during this season (2008) and once he gets stronger he can kick on and aim for a 1st team spot in the near future.
Neel Bhandari Member profile Neel Bhandari
RHB, LB;

Athletic fielder.
Impressed in the title winning YMCA 2nds of 2000 who won the Leinster Senior 3 League and is vital in the push for promotion as the 2nd XI aim for promotion this year and the next and the next...stop the press, he is getting married during the summer...another player lost
James Fitzgerald Member profile James Fitzgerald
WK, RHB, 12TH MAN FOR IRELAND;

James currently resides in Dubai, working for the ICC as Spokesman, Media & Communications Manager etc etc etc.
This former cricket correspondent of The Irish TImes & The Kildare News returned home this season(2008) to help out the 2nd & 3rd teams but alas did not really trouble the scorers.
Is quite easily the biggest name dropper in YM history as names like 'Proc'(Mike Proctor), 'Big Clive'(Clive Lloyd), and 'Broady' (Chris Broad) slip out of his mouth as easily as the ball slips out of his hands in the field.
He is also a IRB Rugby referee no less.
YM Legend!

Another of our St.Andrews Secondary School pupils in the 2nd team. Tall elegant top order batsman who has yet to fulfill his undoubted ability and promise.
Much expected this season. Has to turn more 30s into 50s and more...

'The Nawab of New Delhi'

After six years I finally started playing cricket with YMCA again last year (07 season or some of it). An athletic fielder. Good start to Second XI's season hope we win all the three tournaments!
Johan Van Der Flier Member profile - no photo available Johan Van Der Flier

Johan is a tall talented forceful top order batsman and meanacing bowler, former Wesley College pupil.
Needs to turn 30s & 40s into big 50s or 100s. Has the ability, needs to be patient and 'fill his boots'.
2010 is a big season for him.
Josh D. Van Der Flier Member profile - no photo available Josh D. Van Der Flier
RHB, RAM;

Josh, younger brother of Johan also attends Wesley College. Only 15 years of age is a genuine all-rounder. Bowls a great line and length, gutsy batsmen and athletic fielder. Definitely one to watch and can be a top senior cricketer if he wants to be.
