Cricket Ireland have unveiled plans for the first dedicated outdoor cricket training complex in Ireland, giving top performers of both sexes and all ages the best facilities to help develop their skills on the Sport Ireland National Sports Campus.The Cricket Ireland Performance Centre will mean that cricket becomes the latest sport to join the Sport Ireland site at Blanchardstown in Dublin. The development will feature 14 grass nets, five artificial pull-out bays, a 90m outfield, plus seating and storage areas.The €600,000 development has been made possible thanks to support from the ICC, the Irish Government and Sport Ireland and a personal benefactor, Denis OBrien.The development of Cricket Irelands first-ever dedicated outdoor training centre is a huge step forward for Irish cricket, said Cricket Ireland CEO Warren Deutrom.For the first time, our performance squads - male and female, senior and junior, national, provincial and academy - will be able to train on a day-to-day basis in a state-of-the-art facility controlled by Cricket Ireland.We are grateful to the Government and Sport Ireland for providing us with the land, and to the ICC which is clearly increasing its support for Irelands aspirations - by granting first-class status to our Hanley Energy Inter-provincial competition; through our elevation to the 12-team ODI structure; and by granting an additional $500k in 2016 and 2017 to help us afford the matches.Deutrom also lauded the individual involvement of Denis OBrien, an Irish billionaire and media mogul.I would also like to extend our particular gratitude to Denis OBrien, who continues to play a vital, yet unheralded role, in the growth of Irish cricket, he said. For the last 10 years Denis has always been ready to answer our call - from supporting our team in the Caribbean World Cup in 2007 and then our first cohort of contracted players, to helping us stage our major matches and, now, helping us build our first outdoor performance centre. He has played a central role in helping us punch above our weight on the world stage and, for this, we are enormously grateful.Sport Ireland Chief Executive, John Treacy welcomed the new development saying: Earlier this year Cricket Ireland launched an ambitious strategic plan which aims to make cricket mainstream, and the development of these world class training facilities at the Sport Ireland National Sports Campus will assist this objective as the sport continues to grow.Cricket Ireland performance director, Richard Holdsworth, explained the rationale behind the new development, saying: There is a pressing requirement for such a facility to be built to service our increasing number of performance teams, as we found existing clubs are already overstretched in terms of hosting Cricket Ireland activity due to the impressive growth in participation figures in recent years.The facility will also provide a training venue for touring overseas teams; New Zealand, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and West Indies will visit Ireland in 2017.We have found that access to high-quality outdoor facilities has been a consistent theme emerging from the last two post-World Cup reviews, Holdsworth said. We have previously announced warm-weather outdoor plans for the La Manga Club Development (which is almost complete) and this home-based facility will augment that perfectly.We already have four ODI-accredited facilities in Ireland, but no quality outdoor training facilities so this will remedy that.Work on the new facility is expected to start subject to the necessary planning permissions in early 2017 with the artificial area being completed ahead of the season and the grass nets operational in 2018.

OAKVILLE, Ontario -- Dustin Johnson started and finished the day tied with Luke List for the Canadian Open lead. The U.S. Open champion had to make up a lot of ground to do it.Johnson had a double bogey and two bogeys on his first holes Friday in windy conditions at sun-baked Glen Abbey. He rebounded with six birdies and had a late bogey in a 1-under 71.I really dont know what happened the first four holes, Johnson said. Just got off to a bad start. Hit it in a couple awkward spots. Made some bad bogeys, but fought back and turned it around and felt like I played really nicely from 14 on in.Johnson played in the morning after eagling the par-5 18th late Thursday afternoon for a 66.The wind today almost feels like its a little bit heavier and its affecting the ball a little bit more, and its a little bit different direction, Johnson said. Youve just got to take advantage of the downwind holes and the into-the-wind holes, just try to get looks.List also shot a 71, birdieing the par-5 16th and 18th after making three bogeys in a four-hole stretch early on the back nine.Real happy the way I finished up, said List, winless on the PGA Tour. It was kind of a battle the middle of the round there and definitely pleased with the way I finished on the two easy par 5s.Canadian amateur Jared du Toit, former Arizona State teammate Jon Rahm and Kelly Kraft were a stroke back, also each shooting 71.Du Toit made the turn tied for the lead at 7 under, then had a triple-bogey 8 on No. 2 and a bogey on No. 5. The Sun Devils senior birdied the next three holes and closed with a par.Taking an 8 always hurts, but I just kind of stayed patient, said du Toit, from Kimberley, British Columbia. The putter heated up at the right time, and it was all good. Nothing but good things to say.Rahm is making his fourth start since turning pro after the U.S. Open. The Spaniard eagled the 16th hole.Its so cool. Its a great feeling, Rahhm said about du Toit.dddddddddddd Last time we played together and last time we were both on the leaderboard, it was still a college event. Hes still in college. But to see it like that, its a great feeling. I have got to say, him shooting low yesterday did motivate me a lot to do a good round.Kraft closed with a bogey.I played pretty solid. I didnt make many putts, Kraft said. Felt like I gave four shots away there at the end with a double on 14 and then a bogey on 18.Ricky Barnes (68), Ben Crane (70), Tyler Aldridge (70) and Brendon de Jonge (71) were 5 under.Top-ranked defending champion Jason Day was 1 over, following his opening 69 with a 76.The day was pretty tough in itself and then I really didnt have anything going well, Day said. Off the tee, was terrible. Hitting the greens, terrible. Chipping was terrible and putting was terrible. So put all that together, you shoot 4 over.Du Toit was one of four Canadians to make the cut. Adam Hadwin (70) was tied for 21st at 2 under, amateur Garrett Rank (75) was tied for 36th at even par, and Corey Conners (71) was tied for 62nd at 2 over.Pat Fletcher, born in England, was the last Canadian winner in 1954 at Point Grey in Vancouver, British Columbia. Carl Keffer is the only Canadian-born champion, winning in 1909 and 1914. Albert Murray, a Canadian also born in England, won in 1908 and 1913.Canadian Olympic players Graham De Laet and David Hearn missed the cut. DeLaet shot 77-72 and Hearn had rounds of 74 and 75.Its obviously disappointing but its another golf tournament, and Im able to kind of get over it a little bit easier now than I used to be probably, said DeLaet, who will represent Canada along with David Hearn in the Rio Olympics. Obviously, I wanted to play well here this week, but theres more tournaments to play. ' ' '
