Tynemouth completed a League and Northumbria Cup double for both their Men's and Ladies' 1st teams, and their Men's 2nds repeated their League Cup A win of last season, rounding off a great season for the club when they played host to the Cup Finals and End-of-Season Presentation Night on 11th May.
Tynemouth 1 were run very close by Northern 1 in the Men's Northumbria Cup final, eventually winning 3-2 with the match decided by Tynemouth 4th string Jon Evans' hard-fought win over Graham Johnson.
Northern Ladies 1B were well beaten 5-0 in the Ladies' Northumbria Cup Final, with Tynemouth Ladies 1 proving too powerful all round.
Sunderland 1 also gave Tynemouth 2 a scare in League Cup A before Tynemouth ran out 4-1 winners, with the highlight being 1st string Matty Walsh's recovery from 2-0 down against Peter McCleod to win 3-2 and secure the match for Tynemouth.
The League Cup B final between Eldon 2 and giant-killers Primrose 3 was settled early in Primrose's favour by their lower order before Eldon came back at 1st and 2nd strings to make the final score 3-2 to Primrose.
Earlier Northumberland Ladies, despite having only four players, narrowly defeated Northern Ladies 3 in the Ladies' League Cup final 3-2, with the match decided on the 3rd string result in which Northumberland's Beth Dean recovered from 2-0 down to beat Sophe Bedford 3-2 in a very close encounter.
Congratulations to all the teams involved, who played in the right spirit and gave the spectators some thrilling entertainment throughout the day.
