Lancashire and Cheshire League double
Posted by on 27 April 2015
Warrington has secured a Lancashire & Cheshire Premier League double, winning both the 2014-15 season mens and vets championships.
The 2014-15 season vets championship saw Warrington defeat a previously unbeaten Manchester team 7-3 in the season's final match: securing the title for a second year in succession and earning Warrington a Lancashire & Cheshire Premier League double. The team had several weeks earlier taken the 2014-15 season mens league title, with a thrilling 4-2 win against Oldham.
Peter Flint, Warrington Vets team captain, who missed the game due to injury, said: “The team has performed very well this season. Each of our players had an important part in Warrington's success. The team created a great atmosphere, with each player really pushing to achieve their best."
Olivier Barthelemy, Warrington Mens team captain, said: “We struggled at the start of the season losing to league favourites Chester, but really turned it around with a very strong second half of the season. And ended the season with a series of confident performances."

Warrington's vets team comprised Mark Bleakley, Olivier Barthelemy, Matt McKenzie and George Lennon. The Mens team comprised Mark Bleakley, Pawel Orzechowski, Olivier Barthelemy and Daniel Clarke.
Warrington almost managed a unique league treble when its juniors narrowly missed out to a strong Southport team, who finished in the top spot in the Lanchashire & Cheshire Junior League.
