Three Blues stars are recognised by call ups to the English Counties versus Irish Clubs XV at Preston. Tom Mantell (pictured) joined the Mulchrone brothers; Charlie(pictured) and Fergus(pictured). The brothers were instrumental in Macclesfield’s fine season and scored an incredible 28 tries between them. Ecstasy turned to agony for the pair as they both pulled up with injuries just days after being selected for the England Counties against Ireland.
