Winner winner, awards dinner!

It was three years ago that the Ravens last got together for an awards dinner at the Mansion House in Jesmond.

In 2020 the accolades were handed out during a ceremony on Zoom, and last year - well - there was no season to speak of!

Since then we have formed a Touch team, so it is never really 'end of season' anymore; there is always something going on.

So the End of Season Awards has become the Summer Awards, and it was a wonderful summer evening to celebrate at Newcastle Racecourse.

We recognised the best of the best of our fabulous club: players, volunteers, and the Spirit of the Ravens - the 'Miss Congeniality' of the flock.

Here is the full list of winners for the 2021-2022 season:

• Volunteer of the Year - 'Auntie' Chris Welch
