Northland's junior cricket programme appears to be in good stead if the Bella Homes Northland Primary Boys side is anything to go by.
After four rounds of the Northern Districts Primary Boys competition, Northland are sitting in third after three wins and a loss.
Northland started their campaign with a four-wicket loss to Hamilton Gold, but once they arrived at Jansen Park in Hamilton, things started to click.
Bay of Plenty Lakelands were the first ones to taste defeat as Northland cantered to a seven-wicket victory.
Bowling first, Northland skittled Lakelands for 129 on the back of an all-round effort from the bowlers. Caleb Beazley led the attack with 3 for 16 and was ably backed up by Cole Jakicevich-Roberts (2 for 5) and Nathan Condon (2 for 21).
