It’s the ‘Battle of the Dales’ on Saturday when the men of Tyne take on their River Wharfe counterparts in what is always a highly anticipated clash. (with Mother Nature playing an interesting role on several past occasions.)
It’s Tynedale who make the trip this Saturday when we make the relatively short 100 mile’ish trip into North Yorkshire to play our old friends and “neighbours”.

Last season’s visit to Wharfedale was earlier this year on 2nd April 2022 when Tynedale finished strongly to record a 42-37 victory in a high scoring, pulsating encounter, with Tynedale impressively scoring 6 tries!
Tynedale squad that day was :-
Forwards: White, Batey, Carmichael, Wearmouth, Dunn, Cousin, Bell, Blackburn
Backs: Outson, Parker, Scott, Miller, Cooke, West, Todhunter
Replacements: Caudle, Telfer, Fletcher, Robson, Ward

Whafedale have made a decent start to the season, winning 3 matches with impressive scorelines whilst only losing narrowly to strong Hull Ionians and Rotherham sides.
Although Wharfedale and Tynedale have the same win/loss records so far this season Wharfedale sit three places ahead of Tynedale in the table with 2 extra bonus points.
As we all know Wharfedale always provide tough opposition, particularly at home, and the Tynedale lads certainly know they’ll be in for a hard, fiercely contested 80 minutes.

Wharfedale results to date:-
Wharfedale 57 Preston Grasshoppers 18
Harrogate 7 Wharfedale 24
Wharfedale 13 Hull Ionians 20
Blaydon 7 Wharfedale 46
Wharfedale 23 Rotherham 29
