The much bigger Tyneside side were eventually overcome by some excellent running rugby from the likes of Stu Waites, Gavin Robinson and Paul Miller. The latter finally completing a full season of rugby after a series of serious injuries which would have put most players off the game for life.
Scott Jordan and Tom Wilson return to the sqaud for the final to further boost the sides ability to attack from deep.
In the forwardws Liam Bailey, Chris Young and Joe Rafferty are also available to make a selection headache for Graeme Southern and Ian Peart. The pack performed extremely well against Blaydon no doubt infleucned by the desire to play in the Pyman final.
