BLACKS strengthened their grip on top spot after thrashing Manchester at Cheadle Hulme.
The home team had no answer to the quality and pace of their top-placed visitors.
Former first teamers John Keegan and Andy Chubb bossed the opening period with each scoring a try and Chubb adding a late penalty to his two conversions to give Northwich a commanding 17-0 advantage at the break.

Kiwi Jamie Miritana also came through a run out as he continues his return from an elbow injury.
And Rob Heath's men dominated the second half too with further tries from Keegan, Steve Taylor, Ross Walker and Steve Galbraithe.
Chubb was unable to improve the four second half tries.
To their credit Manchester never gave up and their tenacity was rewarded with unconverted scores from Myles Garbett and Dave Gallespie.
