Team Northumbria completed an outstanding season by securing the Championship 1 title at Lancaster today.
They needed a point in their final match against Polytechnic and, after an even battle early on, won 10-6. Northumberland led 6-5 after two quarters but there was only one goal for each side in a tense third period. The pressure eased for Northumberland in the final four minutes as they added goals by Neil Bowers, Hector Lam and Andrew Calvert.
Northumberland won all their matches earlier in the season in Division Two and dropped just a single point - in an 11-11 draw against Invicta - in the Championship. BWPL President Pippa Jones (far left) presented the Roger Hargreaves Trophy and medals. Pictured in the back row (left to right) are Neil Bowers, Harry Cowley, Stephen Green, Brett Perkins, Hector Lam and Richard MacAlister.
