Crewe and Nantwich won by a single point when the sides met in Sou th Lancash ire/ Cheshire Three League earlier in the season and it could be close again.

Cheshire Under 20's go into their final match against Yorkshire in the Northern Group of the County Under 20 Championship at Macclesfield on Sunday (2.15pm) knowing they must win to have a chance of going forward to the knock-out semi-finals.
