JUST eight days after their Intermediate Cup semi-final victory at Bracknell, Birkenhead Park staged a remarkable come-back to edge out National Three North League outfit Macclesfield in the Lees Cheshire Cup Final at Chester.
It ended 22-20 for Park, with a Tony Handley conversion tipping the balance with the last kick.
It was 11th time lucky for Park, who had been beaten in 10 finals since the county competition was re-introduced in 1969.

Park's tries came from Peter Hart, Tony Handley and sub Dan Palmer, Handley also kicked a penalty.
"The long wait to get our name on the trophy is over," said Park spokesman Peter Greville. "It was a remarkable come-back - the players showed courage and determination when all seemed lost."
