New-name for Lancaster’s Twenty20 side as committee is revamped

The Lancaster Bombers will become the LPNM Lunesiders for next year as part of a continued sponsorship from John Sanderson’s student property business the Lancaster Property Network Management.

The Lune Road side’s short-form side will hoping to go one better than last year when they reached the TWP Wealth Twenty20 finals day where they lost to eventual winners Netherfield at the semi-final stage at Darwen Cricket Club.

The decision to change the name was taken at an EGM held in the pavilion with a revamped committee headed by new chairman Brendan Hetherington also appointed.

The club are looking to bounce back from a difficult year on and off the field with club officials hoping the new-look hierarchy will allow players to concentrate on playing rather than administration.

Brendan Hetherington – Chairman

Raymond Cunningham – Vice Chairman

Emma Sparks – Secretary

Samantha Solloway – Treasurer

Annabel Orr – Child welfare officer
