1stXV
The season's playing results were disappointing for all senior sides compared with those of last season (88/89). A spate of injuries, including both 1st XV (Alan Gledson) and 2nd XV (Billy Robson) captains in the first few months had a massive impact.
The 1st XV just avoided relegation but did manage good victories over Durham City, Northern, Winnington Park and Preston Grasshoppers from higher divisions and over Scottish sides Jedforest and West of Scotland.
The 1st XV drew a match at Heriots FP, where in their Centenary year, Tynedale was the only English club to appear on their fixture list.
