An U17 training squad has been selected for winter coaching sessions currently being held at North County Cricket Club.

Eight coaching sessions between October and Easter will give the boys an opportunity to further develop their playing skills and to try to gain selection onto the Leinster U17's squad for this summer's playing programme. As well as playing both NCU and North West in May, the squad will also take part in a tour to the UK (Swalwell CC, Newcastle) in June (21st-25th).

The squad will partake in the 'Hilton Newcastle Gateshead Triangular Series' that will involve a series of games against NUSC-CC and Scotland U'19's.
