Tawa Intermediate School has made it to the finals in the upcoming MILO Shield Cricket Tournament to be played on December 2 and 3 in Palmerston North.
Starting in the Wellington region, Tawa Intermediate School fought hard in the North Island round robin games. In a close match they defeated Viscount School in the playoffs to win a spot in the finals.
The MILO Cup (boys) and MILO Shield (girls) involve 373 primary and intermediate schools from around the country. With over 4000 children competing in the national cricket tournament it is a great achievement to have made it through to the finals.
This year Nestlé, through its MILO sponsorship of junior cricket, has introduced a new initiative the MILO Next Generation BLACKCAPS Squad.
A selection panel, including a New Zealand Cricket (NZC) representative, will choose 12 outstanding players from the MILO Cup and MILO Shield finals tournament that will be flown to Christchurch to visit the NZC High Performance Centre.
Nestlé New Zealand’s MILO brand has been supporting junior cricket in New Zealand since 1986.
