Antigua St John's - Four U13 teams will be participating in the INET Kenny Benjamin Summer League a mini-tournament from July 5 to 13 at the Rising Sun Grounds.
All Saints, Eastside - Bethesda, Liberta and Young Masters will play a series of round-robin matches in the second of three mini tournaments organised by the INET Kenny Benjamin Youth Fest.
“We decided that in order to build on the success of our second INET Kenny Benjamin Youth Fest, we wanted to host three mini tournaments in order to keep the youngsters together and develop their team and competitive spirit,” said Benjamin, one of the principals behind this event.
He added that the youngsters are keen. “We held our first mini-tournament back in April, however, the weather was not very co=operative and we could not host as many matches as we had planned,” he said. This time, the teams will play each other once before taking part in a mini cricket festival on July 13.
The matches will be held on Tuesday, July 5; Wednesday, July 6 and Friday, July 8, with the round-robin on Wednesday, July 13. Matches will be held between 9 am and 1 pm, and are free.

Benjamin said, “We have to thank our title sponsor, INET for their continued support as we work towards the 2012 event and we are encouraging parents, guardians, supporters and lovers of cricket to come out and support the youngsters, they work hard and they will benefit from playing in front of large crowds.”
The third mini-tournament will be held later this year and will be expanded to host six teams.
