Saturday 17th & Sunday 18th September
This coming weekend sees the culmination of the Last Man Stands 2022 cricket season with the LMS England National Championships.
It is the national pinnacle event when 15 teams from across the country will descend on Slough to compete for the title of LMS England Champs 2022 and raise the coveted trophy.
Three Slough clubs, Burnham CC, Slough CC and Taplow CC will play host to the 15 teams who represent all LMS playing regions in England (London, Midlands, Yorkshire, Slough, South West and North West) where 2022 has been a record year for Last Man Stands England, seeing more teams and more games than ever.
The achievement of these final 15 teams is even more impressive considering the 1000+ teams who competed in the English LMS leagues this year. They have fought steadfastly, given the high standard of cricket, with skill, stamina and strategy, through the season’s leagues to reach Regional Finals and then to this point: National Championships.
The winning team will receive a LMS World Champs voucher value £4000. For more information about the event visit our social media channels on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram where fixtures and group information can be found.
