MATCH REPORT: Northumbria secure Three Rivers League title

September 21, 2015 editor

Northumbria won both their matches to secure the Three Rivers League title, Edinburgh having won the competition for the previous two years. The Falcons went on to defeat Glasgow to take 2nd place. Meanwhile we were again treated to some more vintage racing, Kingsway narrowly defeating Newcastle 21-19.

Keith Dyer gated and held on while the rest battled among themselves to win the Gustafson’s Golden Gauntlet challenge race, which celebrated 50 years of racing for our supervets.
