Let’s take a time machine and turn back to 2007. A glorious year for Irish cricket, which also saw the selection of our very own Martin Byrne’s song as the anthem for the Irish Cricket team. Cricket Europe put together a great article on Martin and the song’s creation. https://www.cricketeurope.com/DATABASE/ARTICLES2020/articles/000003/000367.shtml

The Hills CC are delighted to confirm that Ryan Hackney will be our overseas player for the 2020 season.
Ryan Hackney is highly rated Top Order Batsman from Sydney, Australia. A classy left-hander, Ryan has been prolific throughout the Cricket NSW pathways system and for the Penrith District Cricket Club in Sydney’s Premier Cricket competition. Ryan made his First Grade debut at 16 in the 2015/16 summer, scoring 48 in his first senior knock.
Ryan’s push into the Penrith First XI came off the back of a stellar 2015 National U17 Championships, where he scored 495 runs @ 82.50 including 3 centuries. The runs kept coming for Ryan at state age-group level, as he was selected for back-to-back U19 National Championships for NSW in 2016/17 & 2017/18, scoring 977 runs @ 81.42 across the two U19 championships he attended before ageing-out.
He became an intergral part of the Penrith First grade outfit in 2017-18 and following on from a stellar first full season of Premier Cricket, debuted for the NSW 2nd XI in the Cricket Australia 2nd XI championship,where this term he has already scored two centuries.
We look forward to welcoming Ryan to The Hills in April and would like to thank Robbie at WSX Cricket for helping us secure such a talented player.
