Ex-Tynedale player Tommy Matthews is rowing a 26-mile marathon challenge on a Concept II today, May 3rd, starting at 10am, in support of our Rugby Club Appeal. Tommy will be live on Facebook during the row for updates and progress report. Tommy said 'Your (the public) support will help the club through these very uncertain times. If the funds keep coming in I’ll keep going.' Joining him in the marathon row, via a video link-up, will be current Tynedale coaches Ben Woods and Mark Tampin along with several current players. tag RowintotheRiver

thank you everyone for both your donations and messages of support. The club and the community really supports this. Together with the donations received directly into the Tynedale appeal bank account, you have raised nearly £16,500 to help keep the club afloat. This is fantastic. If you want to hear the interview with Neil Foster our Chief Exec with Hexham TV, check out their FaceBook page. If you could share the appeal with other friends of Tynedale we would really appreciate this. Thanks everyone and stay safe.
