TYNEDALE/OTLEY MATCHES
The two clubs first played each other in a friendly on the 16th February 1980 at Cross Green, with Otley winning 14-13. Another four friendly club matches between the clubs, pre-dating the introduction of league rugby in England in 1987, resulted in four further victories for Otley.

TYNEDALE/OTLEY LEAGUE MATCHES
On the 12 September 1987 the very first league match for Tynedale happened to be against Otley, and took place at Cross Green in North Division One. Otley won 24-0, their sixth successive win against Tynedale.

Then,
1988-89 - Tynedale 19 Otley 16
In 1988/89 Tynedale were runners up to Kendal. Otley finished sixth.

1989-90 - Otley 13 Tynedale 9
In 1989/90 Otley took the North One title and our league paths diverged.

After 1989 Tynedale and Otley next met on 12th September 2009, after Tynedale had won two promotions in 2000 and 2008. When Otley missed a penalty kick in front of the posts in the final minute the match ended in a 23-23 draw.
