IT was the biggest day in the history of Northwich Rugby Club on Sunday when they appeared at Twickenham in the final of the national competition, the EDF Senior Vase.

What's more, they won, beating Bradford Salem 18-13 in front of their supporters who had started out at 5am or treated themselves to a weekend in London.

Chairman Sam Naylor said: 'It was a fantastic day and for so many to have made the effort to watch us was touching. It was great to win, especially to win for our supporters.'
