Sandbach v Northwich: Cheshire RFU Vase final preview

SAM Naylor has called on Northwich to crown their campaign with victory in Monday's Cheshire RFU Vase final.

Blacks' chairman told the Guardian he thought the showdown with Sandbach had all the makings of a classic.

"The ingredients are there," he said.

"Sandbach have done us home and away in the league this season but they have not faced us playing at our best, which I feel we did do in the final six matches."

Northwich secured their place in North Two West for next season with five wins in the final half dozen encounters to finish one place above the drop zone.

Sandbach finished fifth.

"They are a good, young outfit with a host of talented homegrown players, " added Naylor.

"In many ways that makes them similar to us and when you think back to how close the two matches have been between the two teams already, I think the supporters could be in for a treat."

Playing the final at Winnington Park, the home of Northwich's neighbours and rivals, adds extra spice to the occasion.

It also means Northwich fans should outnumber their south Cheshire counterparts.

Head coach Paul Reid has a full squad to pick from with the exception of skipper Steve Campbell, who has work commitments.

Northwich are the current holders following their 10-9 win over Wirral in last season's showpiece.

"We want to win it again," added Naylor.

The Cheshire RFU Vase final takes place at Winnington Park's Burrows Hill on Bank Holiday Monday, May 5, kick off 3.30pm.

Entry is £5, including programme and car parking space. Under 17s admitted free.
