THE autumn’s BARLA County Championships Tri-Series at Open Age, Under 19s and Under 17s kick-start on Sunday at Millom.
Lancashire who, for the second time, won all three titles last year, sit out the opening game, which involves Cumbria and Yorkshire at Under 17s.
Fixtures continue each week until mid-November, with the three counties meeting each other once at each level, and all games will be streamed live on the OurLeague App.
BARLA Vice-Chairman Steve Manning said: “It’s a great opportunity for the players of all three counties to showcase their bravery and skills to fans who can’t get to the games – which we would encourage them to do – and to a new audience that as yet hasn’t been introduced to the amateur game.
“Last year saw a clean sweep across the board at all age groups by the Red Rose of Lancashire, no doubt Cumbria and Yorkshire will have something to say about that this year and will endeavour to knock the respective champions off their perches. It should be another cracking series.”
