HE may have reached a century of caps for his county but Trevor Foster must have felt he had gone through 100 different emotions by the end of Saturday.

After easily winning his morning foursomes in the title decider against Yorkshire at Pleasington, the Accrington stalwart was then presented with a glass bowl to commemorate his 100th appearance for Lancashire.

But he couldn't mark it with a singles victory as his form slumped in the afternoon and he lost 2 and 1 to Fulford's James Mason.

The rest of the white rose team also blossomed to secure a 9-9 halved match, giving them the Northern Counties Championship by virtue of having scored more points throughout the campaign.

"I was gutted because I played so well in the morning, as good as I've played for a long while," said Foster.

"We were five under to win the match and I thought 'nobody's going to spoil my day'.

"But in the afternoon I was a different bloke and didn't play anywhere near as well and lost.

"They did the presentation at lunchtime and I don't know why but maybe that took the edge off my game. I got emotional during that, but I'm not making excuses because I was awesome in the morning and then it just turned into one of those days."

But the gloom soon lifted as Trevor made his way back to his home club of Accrington, where he was given another prestigious honour.

"I was presented with life membership of Accrington. I couldn't believe it, you could have knocked me down with a feather," he said.

"The chairman told me it was because my name had been up on boards on clubs all over the country with Accrington next to it, so I'd done a lot for the club.

"It was a brilliant night on Saturday and on Sunday I walked round the course and was choked up at the thought of being a member at Accrington for the rest of my life."
