An exciting 10 days lie ahead for members of the Leinster U16 cricket squad who depart today to South Africa.
The boys will be involved in a three-day training camp in the Eastern Cape before their tour opener at Grey College in Port Elizabeth on Tues, February 18th. The boys will then travel to Uitenhage to play Muir College who since 2002 have been hosting Leinster players as part of an exchange programme that has seen close to 30 Leinster transition year students spending time there.
The tour moves then to Johannesburg with Leinster partaking in the Independent schools festival at St Stithian’s school from February 21st-24th.
