Over 600 people attended afternoon and evening sessions as parents and family of playing members cheered the club's 23 teams as they collected their awards.
Alan Birkinshaw, joint chairman of the club with Colin Bell, gave a presentation on the history of Ponteland United and the club's aspirations for the future which hopefully includes improving pitches at Ponteland Leisure Centre and an ambitious project to install an All- Weather pitch suitable for both football and rugby.
Both club's facility requirements are becoming increasingly stretched and an all-weather pitch will ease the wear and tear on the grass pitches and help overcome winter training problems when pitches become waterlogged.
Colin Bell informed the packed audience that this was the best ever season for the club with teams now starting to win honours.
He gave a huge thank you to all of the 38 coaches who give up their valuable time voluntarily to help coach and run the various teams, which now cover all age groups from Under 7s through to Under 16s, including two girls teams, a women's team and, of course, the senior team.
On the field there were some excellent performances with many teams obtaining honours.
Both Under 8s teams obtained promotion to the NMSL Premier League, Under 9 Panthers had an outstanding year being NMSL League Cup winners and CYD Cup Finalists in addition to winning 5 tournaments.
Under 10 Magpies, in their first season, were NMSL League and Cup winners, Under 10s Madrid were NMSL La Liga runners-up as well as Corbridge Festival winners.
Under 12s Juve were NEYDL League and Cup winners, Under 12s Barca were NABC League 2 Champions and Challenge Shield Finalists and won the biggest trophy you've ever seen in an SCI Ultimatch Competition at Scarbor-ough.
Under 15s Blacks gained promotion to the Premier Division as runners-up of the NABC League 2nd division and runners-up in Middlesboro FIC Champions League Tournament and NACYP 6 a side tournament runners-up.
Senior Club Captain and Vice Captain Craig Brown and Craig Daglish proudly held up the Kicks Leisure Northern Alliance Challenge Cup after being losing finalists on five previous occasions.
