PRE SEASON

Following Northallerton rugby clubs historic league and cup double from last season North have commenced preseason training already in a bid to maintain their form and be ready for the start of play in Yorkshire 2.
Northallerton have recently been put through their paces at the local fitness centre EVOLVE NCA.
A squad of about 25 Northallerton players were pushed/guided through an intense programme by Alex and Lucy, and came away thoroughly exhausted but proud of their achievement. Club player Chad Kenney commented its “the hardest workout he’s had for a long time but well needed after a summer of barbecues, watching football and moonbathing”
Then on Thursday 6th July at Brompton Lodge, North hosted the 1st Battalion REME from Catterick in a friendly pre season squad game.
In a friendly but still competitive game Norths superior numbers and squad rotation system prevailed in a 50-10 victory. Norths tries came from Paul James, Simon Lawrie, Simon Manthorpe, Graeme Fergus, Ben James(2) and 2 also for Phil Swall. Jedd Bainbridge kicked four conversions and Paul James one conversion. Rob Greene could have got on the score sheet but didn’t turn up till ten minutes before full time - blaming his skateboard for breaking down near the Off Licence!
Norths man of the match was awarded to Jedd Bainbridge for his control of the game from fly half and also his tactical kicking.
Northallertons next game is away to Hartlepool on 11th August.
Any new or old players are welcome to join in the pre season training at Brompton Lodge every Tuesday and Thursday at 7pm prompt. For any more details please contact the club or any of it’s listed officials.
