LCB meets ECB Targets for 5th year in a row

The Lancashire Cricket Board (LCB) has met its England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) Targets for the fifth year in a row setting new records.

This involves a huge amount of work by the Board, staff, volunteers within clubs and support from our partners including the County Sport Partnerships of Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside, all 27 local authorities and Lancashire County Cricket Club itself.

Andrew Hayhurst (Director or the LCB) commented: “The biggest thanks must go to our Cricket Development Managers (CDMs) and Cricket Support Officers (CSOs) for their commitment to the completion of this planning process and the huge task of ensuring that all these figures are accurate and signed off.

“I must also thank all our Focus Clubs who have provided and ratified this information. Although they do benefit from officer time, direct funding and in a lot of cases, new facilities, it is a rigorous process to go through during a busy cricket season and we are always grateful for that. On a personal note, I must thank all our staff and those colleagues employed by our partners, who continue do a great job. Our partners themselves, particularly the 3 County Sports Partnerships of Lancashire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester are very supportive and not least our own Board for their continued help and guidance.”
