Durham Tigers R.L.F.C

Both clubs are in the similar position of being brand new teams entering the Regional League for the very first time .

Miners RL are a brand new club based in Ashington , Northumberland and the club is run by two true rugby league fanatics father and son duo Trevor and Graham Murdie . They have done some amazing work to get where they are today and the future for the Miners is looking good .

As most people are aware the Durham Tigers has a successful junior set up but the open age part of the club has had a very mixed history and they haven't had any involvement in adult rugby league for some time now . But times are changing and they now have a solid base of players and backroom staff to build on and the Tigers are hoping to have some success this year in the league and in the cup .

The game on the 25th of March is in the Selby District Cup and will be the first competitive game for both clubs and it should be a great game . The winning team will progress to the next stage of the cup and they will be facing stiff opposition playing a team from the Yorkshire Leagues .

Whatever the result it will be a massive day for both the Durham Tigers and Miners RL .

If your at a loose end on Sunday the 25th March at 2pm why not come down to the Sunnydale Leisure Centre in Shildon DL4 2EP and watch what should be a great game of Rugby League for FREE .

I hope to see you all on the day .

Open Age Head Coach .
