LAST TIME THEY MET – 17th February 2024
Tynedale 45 Fylde 22

The “Rugby Paper" said:--
“Tyne overcome Fylde in 11-try thriller”
“Two penalty tries and a red card cost an impressive Fylde side heavily in an entertaining match.
Fylde led 12-10 at the break, with tries by Ben Gregory and Adam Lanigan cancelling out an early Tynedale touchdown from Jonny Cousin, and a line-out drive try from Chris Wearmouth, with only Greg Smith's conversion separating the sides.
A scintillating score from Freddie Reader extended the visitors' lead at the start of the second half, before James Telford darted in from a tap penalty for a converted try to bring things level.
Then the wheels came off for Fylde, as Olli Parkinson and Matt Garrod were both shown yellow cards in the space of two minutes by no-nonsense referee Nikki O'Donnell who awarded a penalty try for the second offence to put Tynedale 24-17 ahead.
Seamus Hutton increased the lead after a good handling move with a converted try on the hour, and although the excellent Lanigan grabbed his second try to make it 31-22 from the restart, a break from inside his own half by Jacob Oliver extended Tynedale's lead.
A cynical shoulder barge from a tap penalty earned Garrod a red card and brought Tynedale's second penalty try”.

THE FIRST EVER MATCH - 1990

Tynedale’s team that day included Mark Richard, President of the Northumberland Rugby Union four years ago, plus Gary Taylor and Graham Yates, both Vice-Presidents of this club.
Also playing that day in the forwards were Steven Dunn, and Martin White, who could have sons, Graeme and Angus playing for Tynedale today.

SIR WILLIAM BEAUMONT
The name of Sir William Beaumont is synonymous with the Fylde club. He was a one -club man, who joined Fylde as a 17-year-old in 1969 and stayed until injury forced him to retire in 1982. He played for England 34 times, 21 times as Captain, captained the British Lions in South Africa. and was Manager of the Lions in New Zealand in 2004. He was Chairman of the Rugby Football Union from 2012 to 2016 and has been Chairman of World Rugby since 2016. Bill was knighted in 2019.

WHERE DOES FYLDE’s NAME COME FROM?
The Fylde is a 13-mile (20-kilometre) square-shaped peninsula, bounded by Morecambe Bay to the north, the Ribble estuary to the south, the Irish Sea to the west, and the Bowland hills to the east. Blackpool is to the north and Preston to the east.

FYLDE THIS SEASON
Fylde have had a good start to the season winning 5 of their matches and only losing out at Lymm and Sheffield. They currently sit in 4th place.
This is sure to be another tough one for the lads who will be smarting from their disappointing trip to Chester and will be determined to get their season up and running.
