Jeremy Handley Memorial Match
Tynedale and Morpeth agreed to play an annual match in memory of Jeremy Handley who played for Morpeth for many years and then transferred to Tynedale when he found travelling too much. The first match took place last night at Tynedale’s new venue, Corstopitum Social Club, Corbridge. They managed to get teams of 12 and played under league rules, time control all moves in 90 mins. The games were played in a friendly but competitive style and I am sure Jeremy would have been proud. For all those interested the results are as follows:
Tynedale 5 – 7 Morpeth
Marina Mosnegutu ½-½ Roger Coathup
David Wrigley 0-1 Mike Smyth
