AOC will also benefit from regular blogs from the Irish camp and will have an increased amount of coverage of Irish cricket in the coming months and years.
Fans who sign up can get tickets to all Ireland home games - including fixtures against England, Pakistan and Australia A and a range of discounts and special offers, for the young ones, Cricket Ireland Cubs even receive a free Ireland replica jersey. Commenting on the new membership schemes, Andrew Leonard, Marketing and Membership Manager for Cricket Ireland said: "The 2013 season looks to be the most exciting ever for Irish cricket. There are some superb fixtures here at home in Ireland; we have the launch of the new Inter-provincial series and the highlight of the RSA Challenge against England at the new international venue in Malahide, which will be the largest cricket match ever held in Ireland. When you add Pakistan, Scotland and Australia A's visit in to the mix, as well as 8 elite sides coming to Dublin for the ICC Women's World Twenty 20 Qualifiers, it really is a feast of cricket in Ireland in 2013 "

Matthew Thacker, Publishing Editor of All Out Cricket comments, "We are very pleased to have joined forces with Cricket Ireland at such an exciting time for Irish cricket. The recent wins in the UAE and the tantalising list of fixtures ahead at home in Ireland are sure to raise cricket up the sporting agenda and we are thrilled to be able to get involved and offer something back to cricket fans through Cricket Ireland. We look forward to an exciting season ahead for both the team and the magazine."
Ireland had a hugely successful recent tour of the UAE and sit atop both the ICC World Cricket League & the ICC Inter-continental Cup table. Following their two recent wins against the United Arab Emirates in Sharjah, Ireland are in pole position to claim a spot in the 2015 ICC World Cup in Australia and New Zealand and are likely to stand just one victory away from being the first country to qualify.
Few other sports in Ireland can boast such success in recent years from the Men's and Women's International sides right down the growth in grass-roots participation figures, the future is very bright indeed for Irish cricket.
