Bay of Plenty success at the ND Senior and Junior Secondary School Cricket championships has been rewarded, with five Bay players selected for the ND Under 17 team.

Another three players have been shortlisted as non-travelling reserves.

The 2017 Northern Districts Under 17 side is playing in the NZ Cricket National Under 17 tournament at Lincoln in Canterbury, from Friday January 13 to Saturday January 21.

The Bay of Plenty Coastland Senior Secondary team won their ND Age-Group tournament with the Lakeland representatives finishing a highly meritorious fourth place. The Bay of Plenty Coastland Junior Secondary side also won their respective Northern Districts competition.

Bay of Plenty Coastland Senior Secondary players Sean Dykes, Iman Singh and Cam Riley, along with Dilan Nanayakkara from the Lakeland team, will play in the week-long national tournament in the South Island. Ben Pomare played for the ND Invitation team at the December Northern Districts tournament and also earned selection in the ND Under 17 team.

The icing on the cake is Tim Pringle and Fergus Lellman, who starred for the Coastland Junior Secondary side at their tournament week. They have been chosen as non-travelling reserves for the Under 17 side.

Another Bay of Plenty Senior Secondary Invitation team member is Dominic Crombie, who was also waitlisted for the ND travelling squad.
