A TREMENDOUS Northern Premier League season draws to a close tomorrow with Darwen looking to spoil the Leyland championship party and secure a highly creditable fourth-place finish.
John Cordingley’s men will return to the Lancashire Cup next season as a result of their efforts this season no matter what happens tomorrow and with all the team prizes already decided, the focus of the final day switches to individual records.
Dinuka Hettiarachchi goes into St Annes’ home game against Fleetwood needing six wickets to become only the third bowler in league history to take 100 Division One wickets in a season, while Darwen pro Mohammad Zaman Khan leads the run charts with 965 runs and after a lean spell by his high standards got back to form with a century as sub-pro for Crompton in the Central Lancashire League last Sunday.
