26/ 9/2002
RU: Macclesfield have been given a £65,000 boost after agreeing a sponsorship deal with property company Estates of Cheshire.
The three-year deal will see the company, headed by Macclesfield entrepreneur Paul Davidson, take over sponsorship of the first team.

Estates of Cheshire is the UK subsidiary of a Spanish-based property search company that helps customers to find homes in southern Spain.
Bill Roberts, Macclesfield rugby club's commercial manager, said: "The club are extremely grateful to Paul for this huge boost, which will add tremendous impetus to our quest of gaining promotion.
"We are very focused and determined in our goals and wish to repay Paul's confidence in us by moving up to the next level."
