Best of luck to all five Cheshire players and to professionals Marcus Mohr (Eaton) and Matthew Jordan (Royal Liverpool). Matthew is in a group with Sergio Garcia and former Cheshire player Jamie Donaldson at West Lancs.
UPDATE 30th June: Make that SIX players! Daniel Hayes (Bramhall) was on the reserve list and has got in at Royal Cinque Ports.
