A busy June for the Lightning kicks off with matches away to the Northern Knights in the 50 over Cup and then in the 3-day Inter-provincial Championship.
John Anderson leads his Leinster Lightning side to Belmont on Sunday June 4th for a meeting with the Northern Knights in the Hanley Energy Inter-Provincial 50-over cup.
Jack Tector comes back into the team after a string of good scores at club and representative level, while Leinster all-rounder, Gareth Delany, retains his place after making his inter-provincial debut against the North West Warriors last week.
