Sunday October 13th 2002

Under 15s captain Graeme Sneddon receives the Under 15s league trophy from Lee Boyer

Accrington Cricket Club's Junior Section had a double reason to celebrate at the club's Annual Junior Presentation Night at the club on Saturday evening.

Under 13s Team Manager Michael Donnelly was informed on the night before the presentation that his team had been confirmed as champions of the Lancashire League Under 13s Section 2 after weeks of uncertainty.

This meant that two of the club's teams had won their respective leagues as the Under 15s had already been declared the champions of the Lancashire League Under 15s Section 2 two weeks ago.

Hyndburn Council's Assistant Sports Development Officer Lee Boyer presented the individual trophies to the prize winners in addition to the league trophy to Under 15 captain Graeme Sneddon.

The Under 11s

All the club's Under 11 players received momentos and Jake Sheppard won the Player of the Year Trophy.
