8th November 2026

This weeks award citation from Peter:-

"This week we’re celebrating an outstanding clubman who takes on what must be one of the most time-consuming and thankless tasks in the club.

Player registrations might not be the first thing people think about on a Saturday, but the hours spent making sure everything is in order are enormous. Every new player coming into the club needs registering, every detail needs checking, and this clubman is relentless in making sure it’s all done properly.

It’s the sort of job that people probably only hear about when there’s a problem. When everything runs smoothly, it’s easy to overlook the hard work and due diligence that have gone into getting us to that point. Behind every team taking the field, there are people quietly doing the work that allows it to happen, and this week’s winner is a fantastic example of that.

Alongside all of this, he’s also there as fourth official and is always down at the club, giving his time and making sure things are sorted. His commitment is enormous, and I honestly don’t know where we’d be without somebody like him taking care of it all.

So this week, let’s all take a moment to recognise the hours, patience and effort that go into a role that gets very little thanks. A huge thank you to this fantastic clubman for everything he continues to do for Tynedale — we’re very lucky to have him.
This week let’s celebrate this young clubman -
