Tommy Now lives in Peterborough with his wife.  We are very sad to say that he is battling Motor Neurone disease.  The club would like to wish Tommy all the best for the future in his battle with this disease.

Gateshead Redheugh have sponsored a team in Northern Iraq. The team are called Taq Taq  and are from the region of Kurdistan in Northern Iraq.  The coach Mohammad Wali says he is really grateful to Gateshead Redheugh.  The boys of Taq Taq love the strips and are really looking forward wearing them in the new season.

Mo would like to thank Redheugh for all its help and wishes the club all the best for the future.

The U12 Whites finished their league season in style with victory over Ryton Cobra’s.

Redheugh raced into a 3-0 lead with goals from Thomas Wilkinson (2) and a great header from Musa Nawaz. 2 Ryton goals reduced the arrears before a Leo Fasuan strike settled the nerves on the stroke of half time.

In the second half, Redheugh dominated possession and with virtually the entire team switching positions the goals continued to flow. Further strikes from Zuhair Abdullah, Thomas Wilkinson, Nathan Burn (2), Euan Harrison, Owen Rayner and Leo Fasuan sealed the points and ensured Redheugh ended the league programme with a 100% record.

The game was played in great spirit from both teams and we would like to wish Ryton good luck for the rest of the season.

Happy birthday Tom Maddison from u23s
