Sadly the club has to announce the passing of David Yates (34), the son of Graham and Christine Yates.

David was a past member of Tynedale RFC and regularly accompanied his father at 1stXV matches.

Ex-player and current vice-president Graham has been in touch to confirm David’s funeral arrangements. The service will take place at St Mary Magdalene Church, Prudhoe at 11am on Monday 15th April. Refreshments at Prudhoe WMC will follow immediately afterwards.

Everyone is welcome. We’re sure the family will be most grateful for support from our club.

Our thoughts are with Graham, Christine and family at this extremely difficult time.

RIP David
