The main Overseas Scholarship Programme is a partnership with Randwick Petersham CC in Sydney.
The Cricket Ireland Overseas Scholarship Programme’s links with Randwick Petersham CC emerged after the club hosted the Ireland Men’s team ahead of the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup in Australia.
John Stewart, Randwick Petersham CC CEO, said:
"The Randwick Petersham and Cricket Ireland partnership is a unique partnership which sets us aside from other Premier Cricket Clubs in Sydney and Australia. Every Irish cricketer who has played and trained with the Randy Petes has fitted in superbly with our culture. They’ve certainly made their mark with their cricketing abilities. Their professionalism is unrivalled and they have certainly made many friends at the Randy Petes with their willingness to immerse themselves in the club on and off the field.
"We always follow each player with interest after they leave us, and its always a proud moment for the Randy Petes to see our representative players doing well."
Irish international Barry McCarthy played for Randwick Petersham CC in 2015-2016.
