This season we have a double Looking Back Feature going back to 1993 when Neil Johnson was professional and also to 2013 when the club won the Lancashire League title for the last time with Ashar Zaidi as professional. In 1993 a double header weekend saw Accrington fall to two more defeats. A 5 wicket home defeat to Burnley on Saturday was followed on Sunday June 13th by a sixth successive league defeat at Nelson by 77 runs. Accrington continued to march on in 2013 with a ninth win in a row this season to extend the club's record winning streak to thirteen with a 98 run win over Burnley on Sunday June 9th.
