After the opening four games to the season Warwickshire have only won once which was against neighbouring West Midlands and will be keen to add to that win when they entertain Lancashire but it will be a tough game as their opponents are second in the table on 99 points with Warwickshire lying in sixth position and trailing their opponents by some 28 points.
A repeat of last season’s result against Lancashire 19-17, or better, would be the ideal start for the last five games of the season
