Yesterday, our Tyne&Wear county team headed down to Oldham for a tournament, playing against four other teams. The tournament was a great experience for all involved, and there was plenty to take away. Our boys scores are as follows.
T&W 3 - 17 Greater Manchester
T&W 6 - 3 Merseyside 2
T&W 2 - 7 Shropshire

While the results may not have all been our favour, the coaches Adam and Aaron where immensely proud of how the team played and with a lot to take away, feel the team has huge potential.
