Title: WCOAP 2011 - Official NORTHERN IRELAND Team Thread
Post by: Chipaccrual on July 15, 2011, 20:22:43 PM: APAT are very pleased to confirm that Martin Rice (http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=4739) will captain the team from Northern Ireland. They rarely turn up on time, but last year proved that they know how to finish, with a captains performance from Colin O"Prey to secure the bronze medals. Can they improve on that this year, with another strong pool of players to choose from, who knows.

Post by: Marty719 on July 23, 2011, 06:11:13 AM: Hello. I can announce tht the team for dtd is:
Martin Rice
Colin O"Prey
Gareth Cash
Desi Graham

While I wanted to gv a chance for someone new to come in and crush, I felt it would b unfair to bring back some of last yrs bronze medalists and not others. I also feel this team will be highly motivated now we have a taste of bronze. Apologies to those who did not get on. Applications were much appreciated and I hope u will b supporting the NI team from dtd.

Gl us :)

Post by: MBAPOKER on August 27, 2011, 01:04:08 AM: Can anyone explain why ALL teams display their flag except Northern Ireland. On the main APAT team page it shows every team captain and the flag of their country, but with NI it just shows a "map of Northern Ireland" as the logo .... WTF???

Did we at least display our country flag on our shirts?????

Look forward to hearing the reasoning behind this, cheers...
