LOWERHOUSE are firmly in the box seat to claim only their second Lancashire League title – and could well claim the silverware on Saturday.
Charlie Cottam’s men have three games to play, while Accrington and Todmorden will play four more as their abandoned matches from July 16 - when Lowerhouse played and won - will be replayed on September 10.
But if Lowerhouse win at East Lancashire on Saturday and Accrington lose at Colne, the silverware will be heading in the direction of The House.
They are then at Todmorden on Sunday Remaining games September 3: Burnley v Bacup, Church v Nelson, Colne v Accrington, East Lancs v Lowerhouse, Enfield v Haslingden, Ramsbottom v Rishton, Rawtenstall v Todmorden.
September 4: Accrington v Bacup, Burnley v Rishton, East Lancs v Church, Nelson v Haslingden, Ramsbottom v Colne, Rawtenstall v Enfield, Todmorden v Lowerhouse.

September 11: Bacup v East Lancs, Church v Burnley, Colne v Rawtenstall, Enfield v Ramsbottom, Haslingden v Todmorden, Lowerhouse v Accrington, Rishton v Nelson.
