Two Balls For Dibber
Sunday October 15th 2017


Retiring Lancashire League Legend David Ormerod was presented with two mounted balls at Accrington's Presentation Night.

One ball was to mark his 500th league wicket for Accrington at Ramsbottom on 30th April when he dismissed Martin Cropper and one to mark his 1,383rd and final Lancashire League wicket at Bacup on 13th August when he removed Tim Farragher.

How fitting it was that his first and last Lancashire League wickets were both at Lanehead.
