Junior cricketers off to promising start

Kobe Strong claimed four scalps in his first
game of the season for New Norfolk.

HURRICANES JUNIOR LEAGUE

WITH three rounds of the Hurricanes Junior League played this season, much improvement has been seen on the field already.

New Norfolk has two teams in the Under-13 competition and they have already played off in a local derby in Round 1.

In one of the highlights so far, Kobe Strong took 3-7 off three overs and took a catch when he played for the New Norfolk Red Caps against New Norfolk Black.
