The words Ireland and Cricket have not normally been associated together.

Six remarkable weeks in the Caribbean at the ICC cricket world cup saw the face of cricket change forever and Ireland took its place among the cricketing nations of the world.

Overcoming massive odds, the mainly amateur Irish team coming from jobs that include delivery drivers, a farmer, a civil servant and a postman to name but a few, set off from an empty Dublin Airport to take on the worlds best professional cricket countries.

Who would have believed what would happen next?

Cricketing giants Pakistan were knocked out of the tournament after they fell to the rebellious Irish team on Ireland’s national holiday St Patrick’s Day.

Add to this a draw with Zimbabwe and Ireland became the first team in cricket world cup history to qualify for the world cup and make it to the exclusive Super Eights series.

Victory over Bangladesh in the Super Eights secured Irelands place on the world cricketing map.

In the midst of all this, the Irish team made up of Catholics and Protestants from both sides of the Irish border were also informed that back in Ireland, the political landscape had changed forever with the power sharing agreement brokered in Northern Ireland.

It wasn’t all highs, with Bob Woolmers tragic death, the bereavement of an Irish official and the bitter disappointment of heavy defeats to Australia and Sri Lanka, causing heartache for the players and officials.

The camera was there to capture the players reactions to all of this and offer a behind the scenes viewpoint during a fairytale six weeks in Irish sporting history.
