Phil Clifton went above and beyond the call of duty yesterday, when following a series of niggling injuries, Phil pulled on a shirt and stepped out for the twos against in a tough Premier League fixture against vale of Lune.

An eye witness reporter and recent 1XV player said "He was great, showed those young lads how to get stuck in! I think he did the only steal of the game too. Ritchie Macaw like. I can guarantee that when I'm 58 I won't be in good enough shape to come on for the 2nds!!
Phil, you did Sandbach proud today"

Anyone seeing Phil around over the next week or two should insist on buying him a recuperative pint as a thank-you for his amazing contribution to the club.
