Preston Grasshoppers
Lightfoot Green will be the venue when Lancashire’s U20s take on the Yorkshire U20s in the Jason Leonard National County Under 20 Championship on Sunday. With plenty of National League talent in both sides, kick off is 2.15pm and this should be a classic Lancashire vs Yorkshire encounter.
