Ten Bay of Plenty girls, have been selected in the Bay side, which will play against other Northern Districts teams from Northland, Counties Manukau, Waikato Valley and Hamilton. The nine aside tournament will see the Bay of Plenty girls play four games over the two days of competition.

The Bay Under 14 team, is the first step in Bay of Plenty Cricket Women’s cricket pathway, which follows on from the highly successful GoGirl Development program managed by BOPCA Women’s Development Officer Rebecca Yee.

Bay of Plenty Cricket Manager Tai Bridgman-Raison said “The Kaipara tournament is an important stepping stone as player’s transition into the secondary school program. For many players this is their first introduction to a tournament type environment where they are playing a lot of cricket in a short space of time”. “Preparation has been good, with a series of training opportunities for the wider squad over the last two months. Rebecca has done an excellent job in bringing the group together”.Team selection reflects the Bay of Plenty Cricket focus on developing the young women’s game in the region, with representatives from both the Rotorua and Taupo areas.
