By Brian Sanderson,
I had decided to go on Monday to Southport due to the better weather forecast than Sunday. We arrived early after a easy run via M62 and after parking the car I purchased a concessionary ticket for £12 which is excellent value.After a cup of coffee and a bacon sandwich we settled down to watch the end of the Derbyshire innings.

| Matthew Critchley out after scoring 41. |
Matthew Critchley battled well and with the help of Mark Footitt to bring the score to 370 off 106.3 overs
When Lancashire started to bat they lost two wickets for eighteen runs which brought Ashwell Prince and Alviro Peterson.These two batted until five o,clock in the afternoon producing a partnership of 258 which was the record 3rd wicket partnership for Lancashire against Derbyshire. Both were in no problem until Peterson was caught at the wicket for 113 of Tom Taylor. Both are South African but it would be nice to see a young Lancastrian batsmen coming through their Academy.
