Cricket Scotland Pathway
Many congratulations to Cory and Edward who have been selected for the Western Warriors U15s winter squad after the Cricket Scotland trials process which required attending age-group trial sessions in Glasgow. A special well done to Edward on his first representative selection.

Congratulations too to Billy, Munro and Nairn who have been selected in the age-group above, namely Western Warriors U17s. And well done to Lachlan and Finley who took part in the U17 trials and were endeavouring to move up to the next age group from the Warriors U15s. Both will have been very close to selection as well in what was an demanding selection process.

And congratulations also to Macey who has been selected for the Scotland Girls age-group squad which consists of players Scotland-wide.

This will involve Cricket Scotland indoor training sessions for the relevant age-group squad over the winter.
