Cricket Leinster has had two teams competing in the Under 13 Festival in the North-West this week which has given many players at this age group the opportunity to test themselves against their peers across the country. More importantly, all participants have had a great cricketing and social experience which will live long in the memory after the season is over. Thanks to our hosts at the North West Cricket Union and the host venues including Foyle College and Glendermott CC.
The boys even had the opportunity to complete a historic tour of the City of Derry
