Pace ace George O’Brien Jr is set to part company with Western Counties and Knockout champions Willow Cuts, The Royal Gazette has learned.Club sources confirmed that the 28-year old fast bowler has verbally indicated a desire to return to St David’s County Cricket Club for the upcoming cricket season and is expected to submit his transfer application to Willow Cuts officials to sign off on in the near future.O’Brien has until the end of the month to complete the transfer process before the transfer deadline expires in order to be eligible to play for the Islanders during the upcoming campaign.The former Bermuda and St George’s Cup Match player spent three seasons with Cuts where he helped the West Enders to back-to-back Western Counties titles and Knockout Cup glory last year. He joined Cuts in 2010 following a two-year playing stint with Police that ended after the club folded.O’Brien made his Cup Match debut for St George’s at Wellington Oval in 2005 where he returned remarkable figures of 11 for 120 as a colt.However, that outstanding performance was overshadowed by an on field bust up between the bowler and Somerset batsman Stephen Outerbridge that thrust both players in the limelight for all the wrong reasons.O’Brien was a member of Bermuda’s first ever One Day International (ODI) squad that beat Canada on Duckworth/Lewis in Trinidad in 2006 and also won the ICC Americas Division One Championship in Ontario, Canada the same year.He did not represent Bermuda at the 2007 ICC World Cup in the Caribbean but was a part of the senior national squad that toured Denmark, Holland and Ireland later that same year to participate in the ICC Intercontinental Cup as well as a series of One Day Internationals (ODI). He claimed a maiden international five-wicket (5-116) haul against hosts Holland in an Intercontinental Cup match at VRA Cricket Club in Amstelveen.In 2008 O’Brien represented Bermuda at the Scotiabank Series Cup in Ontario, Canada and also featured in the senior national team that hosted Namibia in the Intercontinental Cup at the National Sports Centre (NSC).A year later the fast bowler demonstrated his all round prowess after belting a team high 49 off 40 balls and claiming four for 47 to inspire Bermuda to a 34-run win against a St Lucia President’s Select at the Beausejour Cricket Ground in St Lucia.In 2009 he injured his knee playing for Bermuda at 2011 ICC World Cup qualifiers in South Africa and was eventually dropped from the senior national programme.He rejoined the national programme in 2011 and represented Bermuda at the Americas Division One T-20 Championship in Florida.Despite making a promising start to his Cup Match career, O’Brien hasn’t appeared in the annual mid summer classic since 2007 through a combination of injury, lack of fitness and unavailability.
