LANCASHIRE crowned their fortnight's training camp in South Africa with two wins over the weekend.

First they won a tightly fought clash with a Western Province club side by eight runs, being bowled out for 182 but restricting the Cape outfit to 174-9.

Then they crushed an Invitation XI by 97 runs, Alec Swann hitting 73 and Glen Chapple 62 in Lancashire's 238-7.

Lancashire return today and are back in training at Old Trafford on Thursday with a week to prepare for the opening championship clash of the season at the Oval.
