The Tamworth juniors donned the pink of the Country Sixers for what was the final selection trial for the NSW Metro and ACT/NSW Country sides to compete at the Cricket Australia Male Under-15 National Championships.
Against the Metro Thunder on the first day of the challenge, Price claimed 2-20 off five opening the bowling, Craig 2-28 off six with his spin bowling and Henry five catches behind the stumps as the Sixers dismissed the Thunder for 189.
In reply, the Sixers were rolled for 169 with Hamilton making 20.
Batting first against their Country Thunder counterparts on the second day, the Sixers replicated their first day score, posting 169.
Henry was the best of the local contingent finishing unbeaten on 39.
The Sixers then bowled the Thunder out for 159 in the 45th over with Price, taking the new ball again, snaring 2-12 off his five and Craig 1-17 off five while Henry nabbed two catches.
The nationals will be held in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast in February.
