Following a successful first season in 2012 Lancashire Under 10s are to become a
permanent fixture in the County’s cricket age group structure.

In an enlarged fixture list the boys will play fixtures against North East
Wales, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and a double header against Yorkshire before
taking on Buckinghamshire, Cornwall and Surrey at the Taunton Festival in July.
LCB Performance Manager Stephen Titchard said: "We broke new ground last year
and met all of our expectations. It was a very successful and enjoyable season
for everyone concerned. The boys are now training in the Under 11 Development
squad with some staying with the Under 10s for another year."
As last year, nominations will be sought from Clubs and Cricket Development
Groups when the second round of age group nominations is launched later this
month. Nominations are sought in respect of boys aged under 10 at 1st September
2012 and under 10s Head Coach Stephen Critchley is hoping for a big response. He
addess: "A large number were put forward last year and we were delighted at the
standard. Although these youngsters are only just starting out in the game of
cricket it is clear that there is plenty of young talent in the County and we
are ready to see them all."
