Cheshire booked a Twickenham day out for Saturday after comfortably beating North Midlands 45-0 at Macclesfield to regain their place in the main Rugby Union County Championship next season.

They will now play southern section winners Hertfordshire at headquarters to decide who lifts the Championship Shield and there will be a 10am kick-off.

Winger Fergus Mulchrone stole the show against North Midlands with three tries.

There were also touch downs via Pat Leach, Tom Hughes, Matt Lamming and Gavin Roberts.

Tom Eaton converted four times and Roberts once.

Cheshire were slow to get going but then produced some excellent running rugby which was altogether too much for their opponents.

Cheshire won all their matches in the Shield and provided there is no change to the Championship will face tough games next season against Lancashire and Yorkshire amongst others.

Four players from the county have been included in the Counties XV which will go to Korea and Japan next month.
