LANCASHIRE KO DRAW SEES HOLDERS ORMSKIRK AT HOME TO VERNON CARUS

Date: 14th October 2014

Lytham get a bye

The draw for the 2015 LCB Knockout Cup Competition took place yesterday Monday 13^th October at Emirates Old Trafford during the LCB Recreation Committee Meeting.

The draw was made by Bobby Cross (Director of the LCB) and Bill Robinson (Treasurer of the LCB) and has thrown up a number of interesting fixtures in the first round. The 2014 LCB Knockout Cup Winners and Med Imaging Liverpool & District Cricket Competition Champions, Ormskirk CC will host Vernon Carus CC, the Moore and Smalley Palace Shield League Champions. Last year’s finalists and winners of the Lake Garage Central Lancashire League, Norden CC will travel to Walshaw CC of the Anthony Axford Bolton Association.

Paul Bryson, Clubs and Leagues Manager of the LCB, said: “The introduction of set dates and minor tweaks to the Competition Rules in readiness for 2015 should lead to more games being played helping to avoid bowl outs that affected many games in late May. All Leagues have agreed to avoid the set dates and hopefully this will mean many clubs can progress without local League / Cup Fixture conflict.”
