The run took place on windy but mild Saturday of January 27^th and proved to be a good turn out. 20 players of the well-committed team arrived eager to go, in order to run the 3km race. Each runner completed the course with sheer ability and showed astonishing determination.

The fundraiser was followed by ‘Ryton versus Ponteland’, which allowed many youths to sell programmes and carry out a variety of other fund raising ideas. A generous amount of money was raised thanks to other donations from club members, volunteers, staff and parents, which totalled to an amazing keep of £650.00, yet more money is flowing in.

With further help from Ryton RFC, teammates aim to buy various equipment such as tracksuits or ‘smart’ RUFC shirt and ties, in order to honour the clubs generosity and reputation.

            Ryton Youth Chairman Graeme Dance commented, “Their enterprise has been rewarded significantly, and their endless preparation has paid off with a well earned sum of cash to be used for the U15 players.”
