Alnwick are the same level in the NE as Wolves in NW. And both sides showed the same style with a lot of open rugby and good fitness for this time of year. Although scores are irrelevant, the Wolves showed more willingness to run penalties whilst Alnwick took the points!

Overall a satisfying day for the coaches with especial mention to the youngsters Wilkinson and Taylor who did extremely well against a traditional looking NE Front row!!!! ( If you understand my drift!)

This reporter tried to get more information on the night out in Newcastle that followed; but the omerta rule was in practise with the Squad - shows they are bonding as a team! I was told what goes on in Newcastle stays in Newcastle!!!
