Robin swoops on Wigan!
NORTHWICH chairman Sam Naylor hailed the first team as they made it three wins out of three at Wigan on Saturday 14th December. "Our run has coincided with Jan Cartman being made first team manager, it's improved our cohesion," said Naylor. "We've also had players returning from injury that have made a difference, like captain Rob Heath." Northwich left Wigan for dead in the first half as they went in 23-0 ahead. Scrum half Robin Scurfield crossed for the first try, which was followed by two Steve Campbell penalties.Andy Allan scored the second try before Campbell converted his own try before the break. Wigan dusted themselves down and launched an expected recovery in the second half with four tries, another Campbell penalty Northwich's only reply. With the score finely poised at 26-22 Richard Norton restored daylight with a try before Campbell's fourth penalty made it safe.

Northwich aggregate cup winners!
The final tournament of the 2001-2002 season saw Northwich victorious in the wet and cold of Rochdale RUFC’s annual competition. Although we were not winners in any one age group, we were the best club all round, achieving the best results in all age groups. i.e.
Finalists (U8’s & U12’s), semi-finalist (U10 & U11’s) and so we were awarded a magnificent ‘aggregate’ winners trophy. Well done everyone, the overall performances demonstrate the high standard of rugby at Northwich.                  May 2002
