Azzak Tigers stormed to a famous win at a cricket festival in Blackburn.

The AH Sports Cricket Festival took place at East Lancs Cricket Club with winners taking home a £1,300 cash prize and runners up presented with £700.

Azzak Tigers had travelled all the way from Birmingham to take part in the tournament and took on last year’s runners-up Sattar Builders from Blackburn in the showpiece final.

Teams were allowed to field three professional players each. A pitch side commentator and dhol drummers kept fans entertained throughout the day.
