I have discussed with one or two from within the club the option of us runing an under 17 side. This would be in the NYSD and compete against other NYSD Under 17 teams.
My main reasons for this are that a number of players are this season going to be unable to play for the Under 15's and may not be guarenteed first team cricket (Rob, Alex, Shep, Mark e.t.c...) and an under 17's side could continue to provide competitive cricket for these lads.
My only concern is that we are likely to need a number of under 15's players to contribute and :
a) are they ready for the standard ?
b) are there enough players to regularly get 11 ?
What are peoples thoughts on this ?
