Making their 3rd appearence in the Final, New Brighton are looking to reverse last years result and break the hold that East Cheshire clubs have established on the cup since Caldy won in 1970-71. New Brighton reached the Final with wins at home over Oldershaw 23-14 and Lymm 25-3 before a 9-5 Semi-Final victory at Northwich. Courage honours beckon New Brighton who hope to clinch promotion to North 2 as champions of North West 1 by overcoming Kirby Londsdale in the final league fixture. Winnington Park did not have an easy route to the final, but as befits a National League team they won their three games in convincing style. In their second round game, they beat Birkenhead Park 26-6, and then played Stockport who put up a good defence until Winnington managed to get on top for a 18-0 vic tory . In the Semi Final the y met Sale, who were beaten 15-8 in a tight game. Winnington are now hoping to put their name on the cup for the 5th time in seven years.
