Lancashire v Worcetershire Old Trafford 17/4/2019 RLC
Hopefully we will give this competition a decent go this season after barely being bothered in the last couple of season, given it's being down graded to a developmental competition next season involving the Minor Counties seems a waste. Originally started in 1963 the competition began as the Gillette Cup and has given us some memorable moments in it's various guises over the years, having won it several times although seems a long time since we last did.
Going back to 1971 though the night finish against Gloucester will never be forgotten
That wonderful cricketer Mike Procter bowling in the dark with a wrong foot approach to the crease and a 30 yards run up and John Mortimore being blasted into outer space by David Hughes, seems like a sad end to a competition which ha thrilled throughout teh years by hey youngsters of today lack concentration so the new 100 ball joke is being brought in for the want it instant generation. Criminal.

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
