AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY 31ST AUGUST 2009.
FESTIVAL OF CRICKET WITH THE PALACE SHIELD / LANCASHIRE CCC

This year the BAC/EE Social & Sports Club is hosting “A Festival of Cricket” in conjunction with the Palace Shield league and Lancashire County Cricket Club.

The main purpose of the day is to support the benefit year for Gary Keedy and our very own BAC/EE Social & Sports Club, but it will also put the spotlight on various parts of the cricket league.

The Itinerary

The day will start at 9.30am with an East v West challenge match between Under 13 players from across the league.  At 12.30pm, there will be a game featuring players from all clubs with first teams below the Premier Division probably split North v South.  At 3.30pm, there will be a Twenty20 match featuring players from the Premier Division against Gary Keedy’s Lancashire XI.

This day will give some of the best players in our league the chance to challenge themselves against some of the best players in county cricket.  It will also give a chance for players in the lower divisions a chance to show what they can do.  Additionally, we will also be able to show that some of the best Under 13’s cricket in Lancashire is played within our league.
