Northern Knights Name Squad for IP50 Games Against Leinster Lightning & Munster Reds

May 12, 2025 | General News

The Northern Knights squad will look to build on their success from last week as they go into another round of IP50 fixtures.

Chair of selectors Andrew Cowden commented on the second match day squad announcement of the new season:

“Firstly, I’d like to congratulate all of the players and coaching staff on a positive start to the IP50 season last week. We now turn our focus to preparing fully to face Leinster Lightning and the Munster Reds this week.

The selectors have selected a squad of 13 for the two IP50 fixtures against the Leinster Lightning on Tuesday at Oakhill and against the Munster Reds on Thursday at Stormont.

Unfortunately, Ben Calitz, Ross Adair and Mark Adair miss out due to injury, but we’re hopeful to welcome Paul Stirling back from injury. The remainder of the squad remains unchanged.

Neil Rock will again captain the side. I wish Neil and his team all the best for both fixtures this week.”
