With girls’ rugby currently booming across Northumberland, the Tyne girls showed there is a lot of promise emanating from Corbridge as they won all three of their games - scoring a whopping 20 tries and conceding just one!
It is a record year for the U13 side with more numbers than ever, and they started with a five try to one victory over Morpeth as they were able to mix a bit of experience with newcomers to the sport.
That was the only score against them all day and they again ran in five tries as they faced a very athletic and fast Ponteland.
Capping a great afternoon of rugby, they scored 10 tries as they finished with a rout against the newly formed home side.
It was a good weekend for Tynedale’s junior teams with the boys impressing in their match-ups too.
Tynedale Colts, the club’s U18 team,, put in a great display to defeat visitors Peebles Colts 41-29.
Tynedale then enjoyed a double over Egremont when they came into town the following day.
Tynedale U16 enjoyed a 41-31 victory, while their U15 side defeated Egremont’s equivalent 22-8.
