Three men and three women from the Bay of Plenty have earned Northern Districts age-group honours.

This has come with selection in ND age-group teams to play in NZ Cricket National tournaments in December 2018.

Tim Pringle, Fergus Lellman and Ben Pomare have been selected for the ND Under 19 side, which will travel to Canterbury to participate in the NZC National Under 19 tournament 15-21 December 2018.

Tim Pringle grabbed his own piece of Bay of Plenty Cricket history last season, when he became the youngest Bay of Plenty senior men's player at 15 years 92 days, which surpassed Kane Williamson's debut at 15 years 111 days.

New Bay of Plenty wicket keeper Ben Pomare has a had a meteoric rise through the ranks of the Bay of Plenty Cricket pathway, earning selection for the recent rained-out Bay game verses Northland. Fergus Lellman has emerged from a group of youngsters who debuted for the Bay Development team last season, while still at secondary school.

In addition, Marcel Collett and Cam Riley have caught the ND selector's eye, being named as non-travelling reserves.

Nensi Patel, Briana Perry and Holly Topp will travel to Auckland to represent Northern Districts in the Women's Under 21 team, at the National Tournament December 15-21.

At just 16 years of age, Nensi Patel has banked a myriad of top class cricket experience belying her youth. Sixteen NZ Cricket Limited Over competition games, have resulted in 54 runs and 13 wickets, against the best women's cricketers in the country.

Brian Perry, has also competed at the top level, having worn the Northern Spirit uniform on five occasions, to compile 48 runs with a highest score of 34. Holly Topp will add Under 21 Women's honours to last season's ND Under 18 honours.

Both Northern Districts team coach's have Bay of Plenty Cricket connections. ND Under 21 Women's coach Brett Sorrenson, was a regular first pick in Bay of Plenty age-group sides more than a decade ago before shifting away from the province.

A little-known statistic is that ND Under 19 coach Chris Kuggeleijn, played one Hawke Cup encounter for Bay of Plenty against Nelson in March 1982.
