National U17 tournament starts Tuesday

Wellington travels to Gisborne next week to contest the National U17 tournament which gets underway on Tuesday 12 January at the Harry Barker Reserve.

The eight-day tournament (with a rest day on Saturday the 16th) between the six Major Association U17 sides consists of three rounds of two-day matches, followed by two rounds of limited over matches.

Points from limited over matches are to be added to those earned in the two-day matches when determining the tournament winner or joint winners should two or more teams finish on the same number of points.

Wellington meets Central Districts in their first two-day match, followed by Otago and then Auckland. In the two one-day matches, Wellington meets Northern Districts and then defending champions Canterbury on the last day.

Wellington was last National U17 champions in 2000/01 and finished fourth last year, just two points behind joint second placed Northern and Central.
