Team of the Nineties Dinner

We are pleased to announce that we will be holding a very special dinner as part of our 30th Anniversary Celebrations and it only seems fitting that we look back to the early days of the Development Association and celebrate the success of the Lancashire 'Team of the Nineties'.

As a one-day side Lancashire were formidable, moulded by captain David Hughes into a team to compare with the side that carried all before it in the 1970's.

Under Hughes, Lancashire built on their success in one-day competitions in 1988 when they won the first Refuge Cup, and 1989 in the Refuge (Sunday) League, by becoming the first team to win both Lord’s one-day finals in 1990 landing both the Nat West Trophy and Benson & Hedges Cup finals.

Having been on the wrong end of results in the 1991 and 1993 B&H Cup finals Lancashire won the trophy again in 1995 led by Mike Watkinson and returned to Lord’s the following year to complete a second cup ‘double’ of Nat West Trophy and Benson & Hedges Cup.

Wasim Akram was at the helm when another NatWest Trophy was won in 1998 along with a further Sunday League title that the team successfully defended the following year under John Crawley’s leadership. That was Lancashire’s eighth title of the decade, and they fully deserved the accolade of ‘Team of the Nineties’.

We do hope you can join us for this very special dinner when many of the players from that era will feature in a
Q & A. The dinner will take place in The Point at Emirates Old Trafford on Monday 21 October and tickets are £70 (£60 for Lancashire Line & Friends of the Foundation members) which includes a three course meal and commemorative gift.
