Last Friday was the Northern players end of season supper. Everyone came together for a curry night to celebrate all the hard work put in over the season. The first team narrowly missed out on promotion finishing 3rd in Durham Northumberland One. The second team finished 2nd in their league, also reaching a cup final. As well as "a few" beverages, here is club president Alan Belford's summery of what went down this season:

The Wanderers player of the season was Chris Darley who, alongside Michael Henderson, was the engine room of the team. He also scored one of the trys of the season, carrying the Medicals full back for almost 22 metres as he powered to the line!!
The Wanderers top points scorer for the season was Dan Matthews who scored 13 trys and 3 conversions (71 points) for the team plus 2 trys for the 1st team.
Special thanks to our two physios, Kirsteen & Georgia who get some restaurant vouchers as a thank you for their hard work.
