History
In 2013, Cricket Ireland formed the three-day Inter-Provincial Championship, featuring teams from Leinster, the NCU and the North West. The North West team is known as the North West Warriors. On 8 April, they announced Bobby Rao as their coach.
Up to and including the 2016 Inter-Provincial Championship, the matches were not given first-class status. However, at an International Cricket Council meeting in October 2016, first-class status was awarded to all future matches.
The team is known for its strong batting lineup and aggressive style of play. The Warriors have a number of talented players, including Ireland international Stuart Thompson, who is a key all-rounder for the team. Other notable players include William Porterfield, Craig Young, and Andy McBrine.
The Warriors play their home matches at the Bready Cricket Club in County Tyrone, which has a capacity of 2,500 spectators. The team has a strong fan base in the region and is supported by local cricket clubs and schools.
Overall, the North-West Warriors are a competitive and exciting team to watch, with a bright future ahead in Irish cricket.
