Waimea 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 Tasman region, Waimea Intermediate School fought hard in the South Island round robin games. In a close match they defeated Cobham 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 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.
