Pembroke Cricket Club

  

Patpong Gallagher

Name: Pat Gallagher
Nickname: Pat Pong / One Euro
Year joined Pembroke: 1983
Highest team played on: 1st XI
Best captain played under: Slippy Hughes
Whats the one thing you do if you we're president for life: Angelina Jolie (I wouldn't expect to get life for it though, more like a standing ovation and a triumphant chorus of "l*** *** ***" on all future visits to the PCC bar).
Favourite Tipple: A nice dry sherry
Highest Score in a match: 83
Best Bowling figures: 6-18
Best cricketing memory: Sounds cheezy, but, seeing Andy Balbernie score 100 not out when chasing 200 odd against Phoenix and Graham McDonnell bowling the last over against Merrion a couple of years back and taking 4 for 1 to win the game when fncked.
Worst cricketing moment: The Draw. Pembroke had a glorious era not so long ago of winning the toss, putting the opposition in and then batting for a draw. I'd like to see it brought back in.
Funniest cricketing moment: Webby leaving the field at speed as the first clap of thunder sounded and a freak bolt of lightning blew the top off the old nurses tower in Vincents.
Favourite innings: Kerri O'Keefe's tale of his test debut, Dougie (Mc)Walters features. The story is set over 1 night and 1 long day, when Kerri gets to bat he doesn't last long.
Favourite international cricketer: Niall O'Brien
Best teas in Ireland: Pembroke
Favourite ground: Pembroke
Toys out of the pram award: Ro Malin, for reputation alone.
A short summary of me as a player: Ask me again when I know half of what Ray Moulton tried to teach me.
