Did you know? East Lancs have won the Lancashire League and Worsley Cup double six times.

Mark Bolton: I am not going to start making rash predictions about what we are going to do – but I want us to still be competitive by the end of July. We have gone close in recent seasons but got no cigar. We hope to be competitive and hopefully the pro’s bowling will give us plenty of control. A top five finish is always our aim and this year is no different for us.

Prediction: Could be a season of transition at Alexandra Meadows - but the amateur line-up is as good as anywhere and if Erasmus clicks then East Lancs will challenge for a place in the top five.
