O/T Roses cricket

[Christies Child]

Lancs beat Yorkshire today in a tremendous run chase that saw them knock off 121 to win in 60 minutes! That's 5 wins in the Championship to date for the Red Rose County.

I believe it's actually four wins from five CC, rain scuppered a certain victory at Hove against Sussex earlier in the campaign. A great run-chase today, 121 in 14 overs is some going in championship terms with the field pushed back. Top of the league with a game in hand.....only the Lancashire weather can stop the sporting powerhouse that is the red rose county from missing out on glory.....again.
