Central North Cricket released its 2021-22 junior representative season fixtures for the under-13s, under-15s and under-17s age groups on Tuesday morning.

Narrabri District Junior Cricket Association will play away from home in all three divisions in the first round on Sunday, October 31.

NDJCA’s under-13s side will begin its George Denton Shield campaign in Inverell, where it will take on hosts Inverell.

The NDJCA under-15s team will travel to Scone where it will attempt to kick-start its John Kilborn Shield campaign in style against Maitland Maroon.

NDJCA’s under-17s side will also travel to Scone, where it will meet Coalfields in the Col Dent Shield opener.

The NDJCA under-17s side will be the first of the three to host a game in Narrabri when it takes on Tamworth on home soil in round two on Sunday, November 7.

That match will most likely be played at Hogan Oval, with the Narrabri District Cricket Association first XI hosting Gunnedah at Collins Park that day in the first round of the MA Connolly Cup season.

NDJCA’s under-15s side will not host a match in Narrabri until round five on Sunday, November 21, while the NDJCA under-13s team will not play on home soil until round six on Sunday, December 5.

There are 10 teams in the under-13s competition, nine in the under-15s division and seven in the under-17s competition.

The 13s and 15s divisions will both be contested across nine rounds, which both include four T20 matches, while the 17s division will be played across seven rounds of 50-over games.

The teams ranked first and second on the ladders will qualify for their respective grand finals, all of which will be played on Sunday, February 6.
