Canterbury Under 19 Wider Training Group named

Canterbury Under 19 Head Coach Mark Brown has named his Wider Training Group for 2017, ahead of the South Island Qualification fixtures starting in August. 
 
34 players have been named in the initial training group, while the final squad to represent the red and black in seeding matches against Southland, Tasman and Otago will be named in a few weeks’ time.
 
The Southern Region matches will determine team rankings for the nationals later this year, with the top two sides qualifying for the Premiership division of the Jock Hobbs Memorial National Under 19 Tournament held in Taupo in September. The third and fourth ranked teams will play for the Championship title.
 
Canterbury Under 19 are scheduled to play a warm up match against Canterbury Metro on Saturday 12 August, before the South Island Qualification kicks off against Southland in Invercargill on Saturday 19 August.
