IT'S the sport at its most spectacular - and Twenty20 cricket returns to the county circuit this month.

Lancashire's Old Trafford, celebrating its 150th anniversary year, is ready to witness more great excitement from this fresh form of the game, which has revolutionised the players' approach and attracted a whole new audience.

To mark the start of the 20-overs-per-side tournament, we have five sets of tickets - each for four people - to give away for the Red Rose's opener between Lancashire Lightning and Durham Dynamos on Friday, June 22.

Lightning's Twenty20 match against Yorkshire at Old Trafford was a sell-out last year and the county has fingers crossed that all four group games in their home programme will attract similar crowds.

In Australian international batsman Brad Hodge, Lancs can boast the world's best Twenty20 player and with others such as Mal Loye, Dominic Cork and Stuart Law also in their squad, they have a wealth of talent to light up any cricket ground.

The game against Durham (5.30pm start) will be followed by home matches against Yorkshire Phoenix on Wednesday, June 27 (5.40pm); Derbyshire Phantoms on Sunday, July 1 (2.30pm) and Leicestershire Foxes on Friday, July 6 (5.30pm).
