We've got a very busy day coming up at McCracken Park this Saturday. Here is everything you need to know:


Past Players Lunch.

Ahead of our game with Gateshead RFC we will be inviting several of Northern's former players to join us for a meal in the McCracken Suite. This will be the third annual Past Players Lunch. The event is great for all former Northern Football Club players to meet and reminisce about their playing days. Proceedings get underway from 12pm for pre lunch drinks. 


Northern vs Gateshead 

Northern will be looking to keep the pressure on the top two as they fight for a promotion place. A victory is vital as the two sides above them, Middlesbrough and Consett, go head to head. Can we capitalise on any slip ups? Twelfth place Gateshead RFC at the visitors to McCracken Park on Saturday. Earlier in the season, Northern came away with a 32-26 victory. Let's hope for the same again this Saturday!! Kick off is at 2:15pm


Six Nations - England vs Wales

To co-inside nicely with our past players lunch, its England vs Wales at 4:45pm. We'll be showing all the action live on the big screen in both bars. England know they'll need to be at their best to beat a strong Welsh side.  Anyone is welcome to come and use the Terrace Bar and watch the game. It's always better watching with a group of people and no place better than your local rugby club!
