The 18th Annual General Meeting of Lancashire Football Association was held at the County Ground on Monday 12th June.

Martin Devitt was elected as the new President of the Association, and a number of Long Service Awards were distributed.

We also invited our member clubs to display the trophies they had won during the 2016/17 season, and set out our county cups after an exciting campaign.

The Lancashire FA Order of Merit Award was given to volunteers who have completed 30 years of service in football (not including playing record).

The FA Long Service Award was given to volunteers who have completed 50 years of service in football (inclusive of playing record).

We would like to congratulate all of our award-winning volunteers who have worked tirelessly in grassroots football for a number of years.
