LYMM High School's senior rugby team are celebrating winning the Cheshire Cup in style.

They fought back from 16 points adrift in the final 20 minutes to defeat Wilmslow High School 29-28.

England international halves Mark Dixon and Alex Mitchell scored all their points, the latter kicking the winning penalty five minutes from time.

Dixon crossed for a hat-trick, while Mitchell also contributed a try and three conversions in an outstanding team performance.

Lymm head of rugby Len Davies said: "This is one of the top games in the country after the NatWest Cup and semi finals, in which Wilmslow were semi finalists and Lymm quarter finalists.

"It was a great game, fantastic for north west rugby and Cheshire in particular.

"We played some great rugby as we clawed our way back in that final 20 minutes.

"As well as Dixon with his hat-trick, Mitchell was outstanding and Alex Nolan stood out too."
