The tournament is set to commence in Albury from January 7, with McNamara and Webster selected after strong appearances for the Lachlan Council against the Dubbo, Bathurst, Orange and Mudgee teams.
The local boys will be joined by Lachlan teammate Harry Bayliss from Parkes to do battle with some of the best young cricketers from across the state.
FIRST GRADE
The Cowra Bowling Club will be looking to make amends after two consecutive losses have put its win-loss ledger in the negative, when it heads over to Parkes to take on the Royal Colts.
The first loss, a one wicket victory to Lachlan Premier Cricket newcomers Reedy Creek Raptors, was one that got away for the side, who were in a winning position before Scott Knights played one of the season's best knocks.
The second loss came against the Cowra Valleys, and with both teams missing gun players in that cross-town showdown, the Bowling Club will hoping to ceom back from their bye making use of some of those names against the Colts, who are early season stand-outs.
Saturday's game will take place at Woodward Oval, with the Valleys enjoying a bye, while the Reedy Creek Raptors and Cambridge Cats will face off at Parkes' Spicer Oval.
SECOND GRADE
The local second grade competition will be particularly busy this week, with a Cowra Valleys and Bowling Club showdown at Oliver Oval headlining the weekend's action.
The game, initially scheduled at Holman Oval, was moved after advice from the Cowra Shire Council.
Both teams will be keen for another win this week, especially the Bowling Club, who are aiming to rebound from a comprehensive loss against Grenfell Blue at Henry Lawson Oval last weekend.
Meanwhile, the Valleys will be looking to improve on a less than ideal run chase during their victory against Grenfell White.
On the other side of the Lachlan River, a rested Morongla will host the Grenfell Blue side at Twigg Oval, with the latter's Harrison Starr in threatening form after taking 6/10 in the aforementioned match against the Bowling Club.
In their last match, Morongla surprised the then-undefeated Bowling Club to claim their second win of the season.
