Cheers CGM

Nearly outrated all matches, but apperently our ideas worked out fine....
Not having a lot of `talented players` it will be a challenge to stay in division 1, but hey we don`t mind challenges....

What a great tour with mate coming back to the Nat role. Big credit to cricketiscool for the promotion! Surely lack of talented players is the main concern in Dutch side. But as mate said, we won't mind challenges.
