U17s Dowling Shield to kick off this weekend
THE established pathway for Victoria’s premier young cricket talent returns this weekend, with the Under-17 Dowling Shield set to kick off for the 2022 season. The competition has produced some of Australia’s best cricketers, including Shane Warne and Damien Fleming. Sunday will see things begin for the upcoming season, with all 18 Victorian Premier Cricket clubs fielding a side of their strongest players under the age of 17.
The competition is described as the finest pathway to professional cricket, producing a number of players that have gone on to represent Australia at the highest level. This year’s squad includes a number of players who have represented their respective clubs at senior level. One of the most interesting factors of the announced squads, Northcote has announced three Lalor’s as apart of its squad with Sam set to lead the side, while Archie and Will were also named, and Jack is enjoying a terrific season at senior level. This looks to be a family with some serious cricket talent in the blood, so these players could each have strong campaigns.
