David Lloyd will be the special guest at a 'Cup Re-union Night' at Accrington Cricket Club on Wednesday 21st June.

The evening, which is being held to celebrate Accrington's LET Cup win in 1986,will have two themes - Accrington in the Worsley Cup and the varied career of David Lloyd.

Radio Lancashire's local cricket commentator Phil Bird will host the evening at which it is hoped that all the surviving members of Accrington's Cup Final sides from 1935, 1936, 1967, 1970, 1976, 1986 and 1989 will also be in attendance to share a nostalgic evening.

Tickets, priced at £10, inclusive of supper, are available from Nigel Stockley (01254 392923 or ncstockley@supanet.com).

A book entitled 'It was 20 years ago today, The Complete History of Accrington in the Worsley Cup' will also be published during the summer.

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the 1986 Lancashire Evening Telegraph Cup win and the club's 160th year, the book will include details of every Accrington Worsley Cup tie between 1920 and 2006.

Chronicling the many tussles with local sides such as Church, Enfield and Rishton, there will be special features on all the finals and also Shane Warne's famous match winning performance against Ramsbottom in 1991.

The book will be available by subscription for £6 by contacting the author Nigel Stockley (01254 392923 or ncstockley@supanet.com). All proceeds from the book will go into club funds.
