Young Scores Half Century
General
Taranaki's William Young made 59 of 58 balls for the NZ U19 side in their Quadrangular Series semi final versus the Australian U19's. Unfortunately it was not enough as the NZ U19 fell just four runs short in the run chase.
In the 3rd and 4th play off William who has captained the side in the tournament made 44 off 43 balls in NZ U19's total of 271. Again this was not enough as the England U19 side polished off the runs only four down wit h34 balls remaining.
William ended the five game tournament with 140 runs at an average of 28.
The NZ U19 side will return home to prepare for the world cup later in the year.
