BLYTH RFC secured promotion yesterday with a bonus point win in the last league game of the season away to Prudhoe & Stocksfield RFC.
A fantastic team performance reflected the hard work and dedication that the squad of players and coaching team have put in over the season.
A highlight has to be the development of young players into the team whohave added much strength and depth across the club.
Captain Scott Bates had to sit this game out after sustaining a wrist injury last week but marshalled his team to victory from the sidelines.
The club are delighted to be playing in Durham & Northumberland Division 2 next season and congratulations goes to all involved on and off the pitch.
The depth of playing talent at the club this season is reflected in the 2nd XV who yet again fielded a strong squad of over 20 players in a closely fought league defeat to Sunderland yesterday.
