Uel Graham, NCU Cricket Operations and Administration Manager said, 'the NCU Under 11's have played at the prestigious West Cricket Festival in Taunton for the past two years. This was a 'three match' festival which for 2019 has become a 'five match' festival over five consecutive days.

Through strong contacts developed with Cornwall Cricket Board and Malcolm Broad MBE, the NCU are delighted to tour Newquay and play three games against our Cornish counterparts at Under 11 and Under 12 age grade.

This is yet another great opportunity for our young cricketers to experience travelling, touring and playing together, which augurs well for their all round development'.
