An excellent series for boys in the U11 age-group took place this week with Leinster & the NCU coming together to play two fixtures. This followed on from last week’s series of games involving the U13 age-group.

There were some fine cricketers on view over both weeks and the games provided invaluable learning to all involved.

Leinster finish their week’s cricket today with a fixture against a Phoenix Youth XI.
