The awards and accolades keep coming for Northern FC.
The north of England champions’ presentation dinner took place last night in Rochdale. Representatives from the club travelled down to collect the Durham Northumberland One league title they successfully won last season. In attendance were club president Ron Borley, Chairman of Rugby Andy James, Fixtures secretary Walter Ritchie and first team captain Alex Clark. The weather conditions weren’t the best to travel down in, but that couldn’t wipe the smiles of the guys’ faces.

In March, club president Ron Borley travelled down to Twickenham to receive a personal award for his volunteer work. The club nominated Ron to the county for the award and he was lucky enough to be nominated for a lifetime achievement award. If there is anything that needs repairing or advice on club events, Ron is here with help from fellow Northern veteran John Bell. While down at Twickenham, Ron took in the England vs Scotland game, followed by the presentation dinner. The award was presented by England head coach Eddie Jones and president of the RFU Peter Baines. He thoroughly enjoyed every moment of his VIP weekend and everyone at the club thanks Ron for all his hard work.
