Last season as Under 14's, the squad had another fine season overall and particularly in competitions.
In the early season North and Mid West Region Lexus tournament, rustiness in the early rounds meant that the team were perhaps slightly fortunate to reach the knockout stages. However they rediscovered their form to deservedly beat Wilmslow in the final and qualify for the National Finals later in the season.
Once again the team failed to progress beyond the second round of the County Cup falling to a Caldy team who showed more desire on the day. Later in the season the team reversed the result beating Caldy twice in their own festival tournament to retain the title.
Perhaps their greatest achievement came when representing the region in the National Lexus Finals in St. Albans at Easter. In a competition of the highest standard Sandbach finished runners-up to the Middlesex & Herts County Champions, Old Albanians but ahead of the County Champions from Gloucestershire (Cheltenham RFC), Leicestershire (Lutterworth RFC) and Surrey (London Irish RFC).
