Chichester have won the PC Cup for the second year running, completing an historic treble.

They did so by beating Aldingbourne by a thoroughly convincing margin - 123-43 - in the final.

In addition to the PC Cup, Chichester have won the West Sussex League division-one title by 21 points and – for the fourth time in five years – the County Double Fours for the Abergavenny Cup.

The same-season treble has never been achieved in the club’s long history. It will be very difficult to repeat, but the club say they will do their best in 2017.
