Last Monday saw Newark host the RFU U15 Northern Academies Festival for the 3rd year running . this years event included teams from Newcastle Falcons , Yorkshire, Sale sharks ,Leicester Tigers , Northampton Saints and Worcester Warriors.

There was a good following of supporters who had turned out to cheer the boys on in, at times, challenging weather!

Newark's Johnny Law was the sole representative playing for Tigers, Johnny acquitted himself well and was a credit to our Clubs Coaches.

Stuart Lancaster was part of the Yorkshire coaching team, Stuart is pictured with some Newark players and members.

We look forward to seeing the academies again next season
