2014 was a memorable year for Leinster youth cricket. A first ever tour to South Africa by the Leinster u16’s started proceedings back in February and this was followed by further tours to Durham, Taunton, Cork, Belfast and North Wales.
Results were most encouraging throughout the summer and squad sessions are currently well underway in preparation for the 2015 season.
