by | Wednesday April 29th 2020 | Cricket, The Vault

Today, we feature honours and individual achievements from the club’s time in the Lancashire County League (LCL) during its existence from 1994 to 2015.

This is part one of the list: testament to the growing success of the club from the turn of the century.

More facts and figures from the LCL will be posted in the coming days, again thanks to the resourcefulness and research of Bob Hinchliffe.

Alongside is an impromptu photograph of the 1st XI celebrations, under captain Steven Lorenzini, after winning the LCL title in 2012.
