LYMM Rugby Club’s under 12s team have added to their astonishing achievements this week by completing a hat-trick of Cheshire Cup successes.

The boys defeated Wilmslow 42-0 to make it three county cups in as many years and it caps another stunning campaign.

It leaves the team unbeaten for a third successive season, with their record of winning 28 successive festivals and competitions going back to October, 2009.

This season’s tally stands at eight, winning events at Stockport, Sale Sharks (Land Rover Cup), West Park Leeds, Vale of Lune, York, Stoke and Harrogate to add to the Cheshire Cup.

The record has been achieved while playing teams from all across England and Wales and includes back-to-back regional trophy successes and a national title at Twickenham in May, 2010.

To bring down the curtain on the season, the boys will take part in the parade of champions as part of the Aviva Premiership Rugby Final at Twickenham on May 26.

Lymm: J Porteous, T Taylor, J Fradgley, M Broadbent, N Llewellyn, G Smith, R Lilly, A Whitehead, J Murphy, M Ure, X Livingstone, W Caldwell, W Buckley, G Monaghan, L Diamond, D Grogan, G Hughes, H Stainton, P Brown, H Boydell.
