Morpeth Reivers win through to the Candy Cup Final

It was a game that took place,' over the road,' due to the poor weather but a good crowd enjoyed a really competitive semi final played out in an exceptionally strong wind. Park had the elements with them in the first 40 minutes yet Morpeth with their forwards heavily reliant on Donnelly, Dickinson, Menzies and Number 8 Clark, kept matters tight with frequent forward drives. It was from one such incursion into Park's 22 when the ball was released wide for a potential home score only for Park to intercept a Morpeth try scoring pass then run the length of the field for a score of their own. 0-5.

This did not deter the home side who came back with a score of their own on 15 minutes when centre Bentley Brown crashed over after Donnelly had made the crucial break. Impressive full back Brown added the extras.7-5.

Then Grieve expertly put right wing Tom Lakey into spence for the right wing to step his way to the line from 60 metres out. Again Smith added the extras.14-5 on 25 minutes.

But Park were not to be outdone and from a quickly taken penalty scored a converted try before the interval . 14-12. Halftime score.

Despite being against the elements Park took the lead when backs and forwards combined forcing the home side to concede a well struck penalty. 14-15.

The remainder of the game was mostly played in the Park half, with the home side sealing victory when, from a close range scrum Clark's pace saw him shatter the remaining Park defence to crash over for another converted try.21-15.

Park were not to be outdone and were a constant threat but the home side held out, making it through to a final against Northern Wanderers.
