Lancaster won the Lancashire Open Interleague play-off against Bury in December 2013 to secure a place at the 2014 National Interleague Finals in Great Yarmouth.
The play-off brought together two strong Lancashire league teams competing for the county’s remaining qualification place.
Lancaster build the decisive advantage
The opening stages were close, but Lancaster created the decisive gap during the third session. A 6-3 session win moved them to a 16-11 advantage and put qualification within reach.
The surviving frame-by-frame record shows Lancaster extending the cumulative score to 19-15, at which point the qualification outcome had been decided.
National Finals qualification
The victory meant Lancaster joined Lancashire’s qualifiers for the National Interleague Finals in Great Yarmouth in March 2014. It is preserved here as part of the county’s Open Interleague competition history rather than as a current fixture notice.
