FINGAL GIRLS ENJOY SUCCESSFUL UK TOUR

Cricket Leinster Youth Fingal closed out the youth tour programme for 2023 with a successful three days in Merseyside, playing some excellent cricket, making new friends, and leaving a lasting impact on all they encountered.

Fingal Cricket Development Manager Brían O’Rourke led the praise to all those who made the tour possible.  “I would like to thank everyone who came together to make the tour a reality especially Matt Steve and Phil at the Academy North in Liverpool.  The players were a credit to both Fingal and Cricket Leinster, and they have laid the platform for 2024 to see the tour to become part of the CLY tour portfolio”.

Principal Sports Officer with Fingal County County Gerry Reardon was delighted to see the tour as a success adding “I would like to add my congratulations to all of the tour players and everyone who

worked so hard to make this tour come about for the benefit of our young talented, female cricketers in the Fingal area“.

Cricket is a non-stop adventure.  As the summer tours close for another year, it is just 20 days until Cricket Leinster Youth’s Autumn & Winter programme starts and the continued effort to enable any child, anywhere in Leinster, with the chance to participate and benefit further as players.
