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 Accrington went down to a 6 wicket home defeat to Rishton on Sunday July 18th.

In 2013 league leaders Accrington took a giant step towards the title by increasing their lead at the top of the table to 35 points after a third win in the last year at the home of the champions Lowerhouse on Sunday July 14th.
