Lancashire Colts, who are entering the cup for the first time in 2011 have been drawn to play Fleetwood at Broadwater, the ground where they commenced their inaugural league campaign last season with a resounding nine wickets win.

Last season's beaten finalists Morecambe are at home to Kendal, Blackpool host Carnforth, Barrow play Lancaster and Netherfield, the 2009 cup winners, entertain Preston.

Chorley and St Annes received first round byes and in the second round, scheduled for 10th July St Annes are at home to either Fleetwood or Lancashire Colts while Chorley travel to play the winners of the Morecambe - Kendal tie.

Readers rep Neil Pullen said: "The final at Morecambe last year was a fantastic spectacle and a great advert for Northern League cricket. We are delighted to be sponsoring the competition again in 2011 as we continue our valued association with the Northern Premier Cricket League and in these depths of winter it is great to look forward with great anticipation to the season ahead and some intriguing ties. I shall look forward to attending the 2011 final as one of the highlights of my cricketing year."
