The New York Cricket Region U-19 boys continued to show their dedication as young cricketers after they completed a “fitness drill” test on Saturday at Idlewild Park, and defeated New Britain CC on Sunday at Keney Park in Hartford, Connecticut.

Keney Park is an ideal atmosphere for cricket, and many of the youngsters relished the opportunity to display their cricketing skills in front of a well supportive crowd.  The NYR and members of the U-19 squad will like to thank Mr. Adjodi, and members of New Britain CC for their warm hospitality.

The U-19 boys will continue to work hard every Saturdays and Sundays in preparation for the 2010 USACA Junior Nationals.
