2015 – Sheraz Chohan – Manchester Sports Awards Unsung Hero of the Year
Winner Sheraz, who is the founder of the club has been working tirelessly since the club’s inception in 2011. He has also captained the cricket club to many successes and landmarks. Sheraz has also been a key player for the Lions National and Cup squad.

He is a role model for many and is recognised internationally for his hard work. It cannot be said how much work Sheraz has put into the club but his efforts are evident by looking at the rapid progress and successes of the Lancashire Lions. Congratulations to Sheraz on behalf of the club and committee. He was very deserving of the award.

2015 – Amanda Large – Manchester Sports Awards Changing Lifestyle Award Nomination
Dr. Amanda Large was also  shortlisted for an award. Amanda only joined the club that year but she got stuck in straight away and joined the committee of the Lions as their Welfare Officer as well as being an integral player for the cricket club. Amanda used her skills and expertise from being a former General Practitioner (GP) to benefit the club as she helped with coaching for several blind cricket taster sessions.

After being diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa Amanda had to leave her job but dedicated her time to blind sports and was one of the first ladies to play for and join the England International Women’s Team.

Amanda is surely an inspiration to many and being shortlisted for the Changing Lifestyle Award is evidence of this. Congratulations to Amanda on behalf of the club and committee. A bright future awaits Amanda for sure.
