Farington Cricket Club, Leyland Expected July 2026 In 1974, government changes to county boundaries put Manchester-based Lancashire Cricket Club outside the new administrative area. This summer, they’re back playing in their brand new, £20m ‘second home’ in Leyland! The Farington Cricket Club is a modern, dual-purpose cricket facility combining professional-level infrastructure with community access. It will host high-level men’s and women’s cricket, but also be a home for local cricket clubs, youth, and recreational players. In July, the club will stage the One-Day Cup against Kent and Notts Outlaws and the women's team will play games in the 50-over competition against Surrey and Durham in September.
