Lancashire Under 13s had a super double success last week.

They began by beating Northumberland by three wickets and they followed that with a 110-run victory against Durham at Preston.

Skipper Tom Smith led the way in the victory against Northumberland, top scoring with 89 out of Lancashire's 175-7 in reply to Northumberland's 173 all out (Stephen Parry 3-22, Chris Tye 2-8).

Burnley batsman Jonathan Clare (66) and Lancaster's Warren Quinn (34) laid the foundations for Lancashire's win against Durham with a super 102 opening partnership.

Smith also chipped in with 46 out of Lancashire's 201-3 declared, and the Junior Red Rose bowlers were also in top form bowling out Durham for 19 (Paul Tonge 5-20).

Lancashire Under 15s were not so fortunate, going down by 34 runs to Durham in their ESCA/Lords Taverners County Championship match.

Durham, batting first, made 204-3 and Lancashire fell 34 runs short on 170-7 (Andrew Griffiths 53 not out, Andrew Bentley 49).

Lancashire Under 11s had to be satisfied with a draw in their annual Roses match against Yorkshire at Saltaire CC.
