St Annes maintained their four-point lead at the top of the Furness Building Society Northern Premier Cricket League (incorporating Readers Cricket Balls) after successive 12-point wins against Lancaster and Carnforth over the Bank Holiday weekend.
Andy Kellett's side take on Lancashire Colts at Vernon Road on Saturday with the Colts having won four of their five games so far this season.

Second placed Netherfield travel to Stanley Park to take on Blackpool while defending champions Leyland, in third, are at home to Carnforth.
Morecambe and Chorley are fourth and fifth respectively and each have a game in hand on the top three.
After their derby win over Lancaster Morecambe travel to Braodwater to play a Fleetwood side fresh from their thrilling win at Blackpool. Chorley have a local derby at West Cliff against Preston while Darwen are at home to Lancaster and Kendal face Barrow.
It's a busy weekend of cricket with three Twenty20 games scheduled in the Jamie Heywood Cup on Friday evening while on Sunday Barrow, Blackpool and Leyland are in Lancashire Cup action. Barrow are at home to Hindley St Peter's, Blackpool entertain Darcy Lever and Leyland face Clifton at Fox Lane. Kendal travel to Workington in the Cumbria County Cup and Darwen are in ECB National Club Championship action at Roe Green.
Five Northern League cricketers are in the Cumberland side to play Shropshire at Netherfield CC in the final group game. A win for Cumberland would see them clinch runners-up spot behind holders Shropshire in the group ahead of Cheshire on net run rate.

Morecambe's Chris Williams and wicketkeeper Ikram Ullah, Barrow's Liam Livingstone and Netherfield batsman Alex Atkinson are also in the Cumberland side. In the only change to the side Martyn Evans replaces Barrow's Graham Dawson who is unavailable.
