Lancashire CCC take on modern day rivals, Sussex CCC, in Division One of the LV= County Championship at Old Trafford starting on Wednesday 2nd September with play scheduled to start at 10:30am.
In the first match of the season, Lancashire went to Hove and came away with an impressive outright win, thanks largely to an awesome display of swing bowling by James Anderson backed up by excellent early season spin display by Gary Keedy.
These two counties have had some titanic encounters over the past decade and with former Sussex Coach Peter Moores now at the helm of the Red Rose County – taste of victory may be slightly sweeter come Saturday!
Tickets are available “on-the-day” from ticket booths on Brian Statham Way and next to the main LCCC Reception from 8:30am.
These are priced at;
Adults: £15
Senior Citizens: £10
Juniors U16: £5
Please note that tickets for LV= County Championship matches are non-refundable; they are only exchangeable for another LVCC or Pro40 match later in the season.
