Well done to Tynedale lads Ollie Fletcher and Ben Robson who played for Newcastle Falcons U18's today in their dramatic 35-34 victory over Bristol Bears at Worcester in the Academy League fifth placed play-off - the winning score coming in last play of match.
Phew! Well we were the lucky ones yesterday when the Rugby Club grounds survived the ravages of Storm Ciara despite river levels rising to frightening levels (thanks to a large degree to the work carried out over the last few years by various authorities)
CANADA HERE WE COME.
Well the day has come and off we go.
No better place than Tynedale Park at 6am on a beautiful spring morning and there's a great buzz about the place.
After a monumental effort in the past 18 months, 47 Tourists depart Tynedale Park.
Unfortunately, for Tynedale, we have to say farewell to senior coach Matt Fieldhouse who has secured a marvellous teaching role in London.
Our thanks go to Matt for the tremendous work he has done at the club
and we wish him well in his new adventure.

Our thoughts are with all of those who are suffering in Ukraine at this time.
