Commenting on the match, Leinster Development Team manager Kenny Carroll
said the following:
'All the Leinster players are looking forward to this match. It is always
an honour to represent Leinster and playing against the MCC will make it extra
special. I would like to thank Alan Lewis and the MCC for giving us this fixture
and also Peter Saville at Oakhill for hosting the match. It will be a great
opportunity for the Leinster players to stake a claim for further representative
honours. All of the 12 players selected have the ability to progress further in
the game. There is no better place to take runs, wickets or catches than in
front of an Ireland selector. I understand the MCC will have a strong side with
some professional cricketers playing so it will be a good test for our young
team. Next season we aim to have more of these matches and extend our squad
because there is no shortage of talent in Leinster cricket. The match starts at
12 noon and all support is welcome.'
