CLEOBURY Mortimer Rugby Club will receive further recognition for their Twickenham adventure when they are named team of the year at the South Shropshire Sports and Leisure Awards tonight.

The Love Lane men have picked up the gong after the record-breaking run that took them all the way to the final of the Powergen Junior Vase.

Despite a heavy defeat to Dorking at the home of rugby, captain Paul Harding and his players emerged as heroes.

The cup run captured the imagination of the town with around 1,500 fans decamping to follow Cleobury to Twickenham.

"The town was empty on Twickers day with an army of almost 1500 people," said leisure chief and club spokesman David Hinves.

"The club united the town and did the district, county and region proud."
