New York Cricket Region
The New York Cricket Region will take on the Atlantic Cricket Region in three youth games scheduled for Saturday August 17th at Marine Park. This will be the second such series of games organized by both regions in an attempt to work closely in the development of youth cricket.
The games will be played at the U19, U25 (50 overs) and U17 levels (40 overs) and will feature many of the NYCR young and upcoming stars. In an invited comment, the NYCR chairman Lester Hooper stated that he realizes that the region has let down many of its young players with respect to the organizing of youth games during the cricket season. He attributed the lack of more youth games to financial hardship faced by the region and the lack of cooperation among heads of the various academies in the region. He stated that he hopes that these games will at least get the young players excited and ready to put their skills on display.
Game time is 11:00am for the U19 and U25 games and 12:00pm for the U17 game. Games will be played in white clothes and red ball. Players are asked to be at the venue by 9:30am.
