The boys wore pink shirts, and played with a pink cricket ball in recognition of celebrating 25 years of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is dedicated to increasing awareness of the importance of early breast cancer detection.

The NYR U-19 boys will like to thank the Under-23 boys, and members of Queens United CC for their support in the team’s preparation process.

The New York Region Under-15 boys, Under-19 boys, and some of the regional senior players will join force next Sunday at Idlewild Cricket Ground in a Fundraiser event for the youths.  Please make a special effort, and come out to support our future cricketers of New York.  First match starts at 10:00 am sharp, followed by the 2nd match at 1:00 pm.
