MONMOUTH Youth Cricket is setting records this year as a total of seven players have been selected to play for Gwent in their respective age categories, with three of those to represent Wales.

Monmouth’s youth section, sponsored by Ancre Hill Estates, is delighted that all its county and national players are doing well in all the games played to date this season. Mike Maguire, Monmouth Cricket Club Chairman, said: “We have over 50 youth members in the club this year and many of our youth players are already playing with the senior teams.

“The experience that our county and national players are bringing back to the club helps raise the standard for everyone and is a great inspiration to anyone who wants to excel at the sport”.
