PUGH Cheshire Rugby Football Union A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Now that the r:,IIiliennium has arrived let us wish the players in our County teams as memorable a time on the rugby pitch as off it and hope that the County XV will go one better than the semi-final place they so splendidly achieved last season, and become champions again. We are very fortunate in Cheshire to have such an experienced team of officiais looking after ail our representative teams from the Schools to the County team, enabling many to achieve their ambition of playing for Cheshire and bringing credit to themselves and to their Clubs. My thanks go to ail the Clubs in the County who go to such great lengths to provide the best possible facilities for our games to be played under with such generous hospitality and the match officiais without which the games could not take place. Denis Palin Sportswear have generously sponsored the County strips for several years and hope that this arrangement will continue, to our mutual benefit. Above ail, enjoy the comradeship and life long friendships made through playing the best team game in the world Dave Wright, President, Cheshire Rugby Football Union Cheshire Rugby Football Union CHAIRMAN'S COMMENTS It gives me great pleasure to welcome the Yorkshire team and officiais, together with ail Iheir supporters, to Macclesfield Rugby Club today for what should be an entertaining final day in the divisional round of the Tetleys Biller U20 Championship. Macclesfield R.U.F.C. have always been excellent supporters of the County's youth policy and 1thank them for allowing us the use of their excellent facilities this afternoon . Yorkshire arrive unbeaten and effectively already crowned champions of the North. They always play an expansive and exciting style of rugby which is always a pleasure to watch and this season have rallied up a sizeable total of points for column . Following a lacklustre perfonmance, and resulting defeat against Lancashire (and their South Sea dependencies) Cheshire need to win today to qualify for the quarter finals of the Championship. Recent games between the counties at both Under 19 and Under 21 have been extremely close affairs with honours about even , so 1expect this first meeting at U20 will be no exception. Yorkshire support is renowned for being vociferous, so 1 would like to take this opportunity to cali on the Cheshire supporters to win the baille of touchline volume and encourage the Cheshire team to perfonm of their best and book a place alongside Yorkshire in the knockout stages. Good luck to both teams and enjoy the day.
