Black Caps Kane Williamson, Trent Boult and Doug Bracewell, are three of the many graduates of the ND age-group pathway tournaments, with the trio taking part in the 2003 ND Primary competition.

Bay of Plenty Lakeland, wrapped up the three days of play at the ND Primary Cricket tournament played in Cambridge 25-27 November 2019, with a dramatic one run win.

The ND Primary tournament and two rounds of pre-tournament competition, is the first step in the ND age-group cricket pathway, with nine-aside teams contesting 40 overs per side matches.

Bay of Plenty Lakeland batted first against the ND Invitation XI and were dismissed for 149, with Ben Clarke in top form smacking 55 runs. The game was on a knife-edge, with the Bay team removing their opponents for 148, to claim a one run victory. Zach Forster did plenty of damage with the ball taking four wickets for 33 runs.

Bay of Plenty Coastland also finished the Cambridge tournament with a victory, in a match where all 16 wickets fell in the encounter. The Coastland representatives were bowled out for what looked to be a modest 83, before the Coastland bowlers stormed into the encounter, to remove the Waikato side for just 68. Harry Burns top scored with an unbeaten 23 runs with Austin Tustin taking three wickets for 20 runs.

In earlier tournament action, Bay of Plenty Coastland defeated Northland on day two with the Lakeland side going down to Hamilton. Day one saw Coastland give archrivals Hamilton a cricket lesson, with the Lakeland side posting an extremely satisfying win over a strong Counties Manukau team. 

Bay of Plenty Coastland finished the 2019 ND Primary competition, with four wins and a single defeat to Counties Manukau. Bay of Plenty Lakeland can also be pleased with their competition performances, which resulted in two wins and two games that went down to the wire.

Inclement weather dictated that the opening round of the ND Primary competition, between the two Bay of Plenty teams, was played on the Sunday leading into the three-day tournament. Bay of Plenty Coastland batted first and reached 191/8. Dylan Henderson top scored with 60 runs with Austin Tustin reaching the forties. Ben Clarke took three wickets for the Lakeland representatives.

The Lakeland batsmen made a determined chase, but were restricted in their attempts to hit out by some accurate Coastland bowling to restrict them to 166 for the loss of seven wickets. Tom Yetsenga was in top form with the bat posting a gritty 56 before being dismissed.

The Primary Boys MVP awards were esented to Ben Clarke (Lakelands) and Gus Tustin (Coastlands). Gus and Ben displayed leadership, outstanding work ethic and attitude. They had the support of their teammates as well as making significant contributions with bat and ball.
