25th March 2024 - Howard Sanderson, RIP
Lancashire Darts is saddened to announce the passing of former county player Howard Sanderson after a short illness.
Howard, from Burnley, represented Lancashire 9 times and post-COVID started playing again and was enjoying his darts. He will be sadly missed by many. Howard played for Lancashire from October 2005 till November 2006, winning 7 out of his 9 matches. Howard's best performance was an 86.70 vs Warwickshire on 1st April 2006.
Our thoughts go out to all his family and friends.

6th June 2023 - Lancashire Take 3 Titles
Lancashire started the final fixture of the season in second place, in 4 out of 5 tables, Overall, Men's A, Men's B and Women's B.
In the Women's B table we started the day 2 points behind the leaders, Warwickshire. Our Women's B took to the stage knowing that every single point counted and performed awesomely, winning 6-0. With Warwickshire's WB drawing 3-3 at Lincolnshire, we captured the first title of the weekend. The celebrations had started.
Our Men's B started just 1 point behind rivals, Yorkshire, who faced a strong Essex squad. This was a close, hard-fought match with our opponents fighting relegation and attempting to restore their hopes of avoiding relegation. The 6-6 result was disappointing but we were soon to discover that Essex beat Yorkshire's Men's B 8-4, meaning Lancashire topped the table by 1 point. The celebrations continued.
Having started the weekend 5 points behind Yorkshire in the overall table and securing 12 points when Yorkshire had taken just 7, we were now level with everything to play for on the Sunday. The Women's A title was out of our reach but all points won still contributed to our chances of the overall title. London's very strong Women's A team played hard and found the doubles when it mattered most, taking the match 5-1.
With only the Men's A match still to be played, our men were aware that a massive win was required against the London Men's A who still had a chance to save their side from relegation. The atmosphere was electric.
Our Men's A players took the first set, then the second, then the third. The wins just kept coming and we reached 8-nil. We knew that Essex, with a very capable A team, would be taking points from Yorkshire, helping us in our quest for the overall Premiership title but starting from 4 points behind Essex in the Men's A table, we knew we were unlikely to capture both. Even with the pressure of knowing how important the final points could prove, our last 2 men secured the wins giving us a 10-2 victory. Essex took a 7-5 win from Yorkshire and the Men's A title by just 1 point.
With all matches completed we had done enough. Yorkshire couldn't catch us and we won the overall title for the second year in succession. In the final tally we took the title with 269 points with Yorkshire on 263.
