LYMM Rugby Club's under eights team completed a treble of back-to-back tournament successes at the weekend.
They added the much-coveted Rochdale Tournament title to their recent achievements.
Despite the quality opposition they faced, the boys did not concede a single try at Rochdale.
Lymm defeated Widnes 5-0 in the final, while en route they impressively beat Blackburn 8-0.
Despite the thick mud and constant rain, the boys scored some scintillating tries thanks to quick off-loading and support play.
Lymm: William Caldwell, Harvey Metcalfe, Joe Murphy, Alex Galloway, Neil Llewellyn, George Monaghan, Luke Diamond, James Sherlock, George Hughes.
