Cricket Sports Section Introduction The Cricket Section competed for many years in the Northern Police Cricket League, but following its demise in 1997 has just competed in the Police Athletic Association, now Police Sport UK, national knockout each year. This offers some great opportunities to play a very good standard of cricket, all over the country, sometimes at first-class or ‘minor counties’ cricket grounds. The section also plays host to touring sides and has a long history of touring itself, mainly to Devon & Cornwall. In 2001 we competed in the International Police Cricket Festival in Perth, Western Australia. Closer to home, since the Headquarters cricket square was lost to building development, we play our home games at a number of local club grounds such as Great Harwood and Fleetwood. Lancashire’s most successful season was in 1992 when narrowly beaten in the final by old rivals Nottinghamshire Police. After some years of dwindling interest and ageing squad members, in the last couple of years there has been a resurgence, with a number of quality players joining the Constabulary. The squad is probably now at its strongest for many years. The Section is always eager to recruit new players, either officers or police staff, of all standards, from ex-professionals through regular club cricketers to casual players. Interested?
