Colour, camaraderie and cricket took over Devonport as the annual Junior World Series took place from 21-23rd January. Into its 26th year, the event attracted hundreds of families to the peninsula for a fun-focused festival of cricket, with players in Years 3 to 8 playing under different cricketing nations' flags. A visit from Auckland Aces players, including Shore-based Graeme Beghin, added to the excitement of the tournament organised by North Shore Cricket Club, which every year attracts young cricketers from across the Auckland region.
