U14 Boys - National Champions 2011

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."

The following players have been selected this season:

• Mark Waddington (Capt) (Standish HS & Orrell Red Triangle CC)
• Josh Bohannon (Harper Green HS & Farnworth SC CC)
• Mark Chappell (Liverpool College & Sefton CC)
• Luke Crampton (Urmston GS & Stretford CC)
• Harry Dearden (Tottington HS & Woodbank CC)
• Tom Jones (Golborne HS & Orrell CC
• Chris Laker (Wellacre TC & Stretford CC)
