It's been something of a Carlsberg week for Lurgan who have followed up their shock opening day win over champions CIYMS with the signing of Jamie Holmes.

The Irish passport holding New Zealander plied his trade in the NCU last year with Carrickfergus, with it has to be said a great deal of success.

The 21 year old scored 704 runs at a very impressive average of 47, and also claimed 10 wickets with his part-time off spin.

His signature will boost the playing ranks at Pollock Park giving them a genuine opportunity of a successful campaign.
