The youngsters put in a tremendous performance with some fantastic rugby on display from both teams.

There were also Northumberland County honours for the Alnwick youngsters George Nelson and Ryan King who appeared in a recent county u20s 32-17 victory against Cheshire.

Alnwick’s first team suffered a defeat as they went down 46-34 at third-placed Heath in Regional One North East.

Michael van Vuuren’s team have a break this weekend then complete their season with a visit to fourth-placed York on Saturday 5th April.

The blue and golds are fifth in the table with ten wins, a draw and ten losses so far this campaign.
