Simm sons are following in skipper's Lancaster footsteps

Lancaster skipper Ben Simm is hoping his trusty spinning finger will keep working its magic for a few more years yet - maybe so that he can turn out alongside both of his young sons Hayden and Xavier.

The right-arm bowler is fast approaching 800 wickets for the Lune Road outfit since first making his debut for the club as a teenager back in 2002.

Since 2010, he has been a fixture in the team, serving many years as captain, and is still a big contributor despite reaching the grand old age of 40.

He is currently third in the list of leading wicket-takers in the Moore and Smalley Palace Shield Premier Division with 21 victims so far at an average of 19.33.
