Summary
Strabane Academy have produced four international cricketers for two different nations in recent times… but don't quite know why. They're also the first side through to the national rounds of the new Knight-Stokes Cup for state schools. Former first-class player Niall McDonnell, Strabane's head of PE, joins us to discuss their success and why cricket is "in the blood" in their part of Northern Ireland. The Cricketer's schools coverage is brought to you in association with our friends at Durant Sports.
