Club record ten wickets for Alan
They were going through the record books to see if anyone had ever taken all ten wickets before in a senior match.
Alan returned the figures of 10 wickets for 25 runs as Lurgan skittled Bangor for just 66 runs.
It seems that it certainly was a club record.

Hide AdIt was a case of third time lucky for Alan as he had previously taken nine wickets in a match.
However it wasn’t the first time it had happened in the Johnston family.
Alan’s father David took all ten for Lurgan against Waringstown although this was in a friendly game.
And as Alan came of the field after taking the ten wickets skipper Dickie Maxwell had an encouraging word.
He told him: “Well bowled Alan, you’ll improve with experience.”
