Two teams represented Northam Junior Cricket at Junior Country Week; an Under 14 and Under 16 team.
Jermaine Bomber Davies coached the Under 16 team and the Under 14s were co-coached by Brenden O’Driscoll and Peter Clements.
Many thanks to the coaches for giving up a week of their time.
Thanks also to team mangers and scorers Nick Norrish, Cindy Clements, Cathy North, Ang Hertzer, Steve Gorbig and Michelle O’Driscoll.
