Wigton 23 Percy Park 3

Park travelled across to Cumbria on a fine day and enjoyed perfect playing conditions and warm hospitality from our hosts.

Park dominated the first half and were left scratching their heads at half time at how the score was only 3-3, with Zak Rutter kicking a penalty in response to an earlier Wigton effort. Park played most of the rugby in Wigton's 22, only for poor hands, drives being held up over the line and running over the dead ball line denying scoring points.

Percy Park 78 Ponteland 0

Park got back to winning ways in style against a large but disapointing Ponteland side. In a one sided encounter, first half trys were scored by D. McFarlane, R Watts(2), J Dent(2), A Galbraith, A Littlefield, J Davidson and M Robson for a 51-0 scoreline. Guys were introduced from the bench into the second half with another five trys being touched down through T Brodie(3), H Stock and S Williamson before the referee took pity on the opposition and shortened the game. Final score 78-0, though the referee had it at 88-0!

Man of the match: Rob Watts

Percy Park 10 Blaydon 38

Percy Park hosted Blaydon in their first Sunday fixture without a number of county players and following hard on the heels of a bruising encounter with Carlisle the day before. Lots of changes were made to the side to ensure everyone fit got a runout.

Carlisle 31 Percy Park 5

Park travelled across to face Carlisle in warm, sunny conditions but left for home feeling a little overcast!
Facing a big, strong side Park consistantly turned over ball throughout the game to the frustration of players, coaches and spectators.

Northumberland County 7's

Cup success for Academy under17's.

Percy Park Academy entered under 17 and under 18 sides into the county cup 7's hosted by Berwick on Sunday 13th September.
The under 17's played some fantastic team rugby throughout the competition, defeating Morpeth 29 - 7, Tynedale 26 - 0, Ponteland 26 - 0, and Tynedale again in the final 36 - 7. Defensive organisation was the mainstay of each performance with work in training alongside Park's senior players clearly reaping benifit.
The under 18's sufferered with the withdrawl of a number of players due to injury but put up very creditable performances, defeating Rockcliff and Gosforth before losing to a very strong North Shields side in the semi finals.
Many thanks to parents for transport and tremendous support over the whole of the competition.
