Bay Of Plenty Coastland Chase Back To Back ND Senior Secondary Titles

Bay of Plenty Coastland, will enter the ND Senior Secondary Cricket tournament being played in Gisborne next week (11-15 December 2017) as defending champions, after annexing the championship title for the third time in five years in December 2016.

Bay of Plenty Lakeland also finished in the Championship division last season, when they were beaten by Northland in the battle for third place - after grabbing first innings points in the top four playoff.
The Northern Districts Senior Secondary Cricket tournament, plays a crucial role, in the transition of the most promising age-group players into senior representative and professional cricket players.

The strength of the Bay of Plenty Coastland challenge for the tournament title, is shown by the presence of nine young men that have played for the Bay of Development team in the last month. Josh Earle, Marcel Collett, Dominic Crombie, Craig Baldry, Fergus Lellman, Cam Riley, Rhys Mischewski, Iman Singh and Ben Pomare, have all worn the uniform of the Bay of Plenty second eleven in the ND 2017/18 Development competition.

Bay of Plenty Lakeland also has a number of players with plenty of potential waiting to be unleashed in their ranks. The Lakeland age-group cricket pathway has produced a myriad of Bay of Plenty representative players over the years.
