The Northern Cricket Union (NCU) is delighted to announce a new partnership with Carson McDowell, Northern Ireland’s largest independent law firm, which will become the official sponsor of the NCU Pathway. This exciting new partnership will see Carson McDowell support the development of young male and female cricketers, ranging from our new Under-11 participation programmes to our Senior Women’s side, the current Cricket Ireland Future Series champions. 

This partnership highlights Carson McDowell’s commitment to supporting the future of cricket in the region, providing vital backing to the NCU’s efforts in nurturing the next generation of talent. It also comes at an exciting time, as the NCU Boys’ Academy prepares to travel to Chennai, India, to develop their skills at the Chennai Super Kings Academy. 

All NCU Pathway squads will proudly wear new Wildwing Sportswear playing kits, prominently featuring the Carson McDowell logo on the front. This branding reinforces the law firm’s role in helping young players progress through the ranks of the pathway. 

NCU Interim Chief Executive Callum Atkinson welcomed the partnership, stating: 

“We are thrilled to have Carson McDowell on board as the exclusive sponsor of our Pathway. Their support will be instrumental in providing the best possible environment for our young cricketers to develop and achieve their potential. This investment will not only enhance our pathway but also strengthen the future of cricket within the NCU.” 

Carson McDowell Managing Partner Roger McMillan added: 

“At Carson McDowell, we are passionate about supporting the local community and contributing to the development of sporting talent in Northern Ireland. The NCU Pathway plays a crucial role in shaping young cricketers, and we are proud to lend our name and support to help them flourish.” 

This partnership marks an exciting new chapter for both organisations, ensuring the continued growth of the NCU Pathway and providing aspiring young cricketers with the resources and opportunities they need to succeed. Keep an eye out on NCU social media for the official pathway kit launch to celebrate the partnerships with Carson McDowell and Teamwear Ireland’s Wildwing Sportswear.
