Zanzibar Films have joined forces with filmmaker Paul Davey to produce a major documentary film on the amazing story of the Irish Cricket team at the recent world cup in the Carribean.

Davey travelled with the Irish team throughout the world cup and filmed over 40 hours of exclusive behind the scenes footage.

Back in Ireland, Davey is now organising final interviews to be filmed, before post production begins in September. The film is being produced by Shimmy Marcus and Edwina Forkin of Zanzibar Films (Headrush, Aidan Walsh - Master of the Universe). It will be broadcast and available on DVD by Christmas.

* From Ferrets to Heroes

(Ferret in reference to Lanky’s dance as well as the cricket term for a hopeless batsman)

* From Minnows to Big Fish

(In reference to Michael Holding’s comment pre-world cup & the other meaning of “minnow”)

* Jolly Green Giants

(in reference of their giant leprechaun supporter but also to the Giant-Killing & happy go lucky antics of the Irish team)

* Caribbean Summer

* Stutters, Princes and Chickens

(pick something in reference to some of the behind the scenes knowledge gained)

* Ireland Ireland Ireland … Oi oi oi

* Irish Dancing
- Riverdance it ain’t … but learn how to do the Chicken, the Ferret & the Conga … Irish cricket style!
