On Sunday 28th February, Blackburn 1st town team hosted Blackpool 1st at Norden.
Blackburn came out victorious with an impressive max points win of 12 games to 3 moving them up to 2nd place in the inter league top division league table. It is still mathematically possible for Blackburn to win the league with next opponents Mid Lancs currently sitting top. This is an incredible feat seeing as in 2013, Blackburn was languishing in the inter league 3rd division but following back to back promotions, the team is now a real force in the top division.
The team against Blackpool was Ashley Gibson, Nick Hodgson, Abdul Malik, Keith Ashton, Cheryl Parry, Allison Leaver, Ciara Pender (all from Hit&Miss), Joanna Holt (Blackburn Seniors) and Phil Aspinall (Westholme).
