Rugby: Cheshire bowl win for Ed and Theo

Congratulations to Edward Tweedie (L6GRO) and Theo Irvine (L6FOX) who ended an already successful Rugby season with a remarkable and important win. 

Ed and Theo play for Chester Rugby Club Junior Colts and on Sunday, 23 April, they faced Stockport in the Cheshire Bowl Final.

When they met in last year’s competition, Stockport celebrated a convincing victory over Chester and they expected a repeat win this year.  

At half-time, Chester were down 7-29 but, showing incredible resolve, determination and skill, came back to take the win with a last minute try and conversion. 

The thrilling match ended with a 35-34 scoreline, silverware for the club and one of Ed and Theo’s most memorable wins to date. 

Both boys are looking forward to playing for Senior Colts next season.
