The City v Country 18U Series provides a similar opportunity for a smaller group of players and will be part of the selection process for the NQ 19U training squad for Players will also be viewed for 19U selection through the QSNL and QPL competitions as well as knowledge gained through their previous exposure through the 17U selection process in previous years. 18U CITY AND COUNTRY TEAMS The 18U City and Country Teams will be selected by the NQ Pathway Selection Panel by early August from the following teams and competitions and from knowledge gained over the past two years through the NQ 17U identification and selection programs. 18U CITY TEAM 1.
