  To all CFN Junior Cricket families,
   
  The following contains extremely important information for the Male Under 15 CFN Rep Trials for 2023.

  All Males cricketers that are 15 or under as of 1^st September, 2023 are eligible to attend the trial.
   
  This rep trial is considerably earlier than in previous years. This is due to a change in rep pathway being provided by Queensland Cricket.
