National Champions really does sound good! This is exactly what the Lancashire
U14 Boys have achieved this season.

The Under 14 County team started by playing a series of ECB 45 Overs Cup matches
against eight Northern Counties. This led to being involved in National Finals
which had been re-instated for this age group. In addition they took part in the
Inter-County Festival at Kings College, Taunton.
In addition in 2011 there was a Development “B” Squad that will played three
matches allowing selectors to look at players pushing for selection to the main
squad.
Rudra Singh (Lancashire U14 Boys Head Coach) said: "I'm absolutely delighted for
the boys. They are not only a highly talented bunch but have shown a high degree
of cricketing intelligence and commitment to hard work. I look forward to seeing
them continuing with their successes as they progress through the age groups."

*Mark Waddington (Capt) (Standish HS & Orrell Red Triangle CC) 	*Josh Bohannon
