Natalie May highlighted a number of positives that South Shields Women can take despite the heartbreak surrounding Sunday's NERWFL League Cup Final defeat. The lasses fell behind against Leeds Modernians Women in the sixth minute, and they were unable to get the goal they needed to bring them back in the tie, before a second goal shortly before the final whistle ended all hopes of ending the season in glory. While the disappointment can be felt at the moment, in time the Mari

South Shields Women suffered heartbreak in the NERWFL League Cup Final against Leeds Modernians Women in spite of a courageous performance on Sunday. Right from the very first whistle, the Mariners were eager to score, creating a huge chance in the opening minutes, Tara Flaherty the one to deny what could have been an early breakthrough. However, just six minutes into the tie, it was Shameeka Fishley who opened the scoring. Leeds Mods, then, doubled their lead late into the

South Shields Women hope to make history this Sunday when they take on Leeds Modernians Women in the NERWFL League Cup Final (2pm kick-off). The Mariners reached the Final after defeating Birtley Town Ladies 2-1 just over a fortnight ago, while Leeds Modernians knocked out Bradford City AFC Women on penalties last week. To get to this stage, Shields have been victorious against Wallsend BC Women, Spennymoor Town Ladies, Sunderland West End Ladies as well as Birtley Town. Leed

Tianna Hill was pleased with the “impact” she made despite South Shields Women’s chaotic defeat to Brunsmeer Athletic Women at the weekend. The forward was brought on, following a lengthy spell on the sidelines, for the second-half and contributed with one assist as the lasses looked to claw back a three-goal deficit. It wasn’t to be, despite the Mariners netting four times after the restart, but nevertheless Hill can look back on a positive 45 minutes in what was otherwise a

South Shields Women were on the wrong end of a 10-goal thriller on Sunday, as they rounded their NERWFL Premier Division campaign with a 6-4 defeat on the road to Brunsmeer Athletic Women. The Mariners were shocked by a very clinical Brunsmeer side, who went into the break three goals to the good. They would then add another with almost 20 minutes remaining before chaos ensued - nearly 15 minutes later, the scoreline was 6-3 to the hosts, and in the 13th minute of added time,

South Shields Women Head Coach Alex Miller wants her team to use Sunday’s 6-4 defeat to Brunsmeer Athletic Women as one of many “learning experiences.” The Mariners embarked on their longest trip in the NERWFL Premier Division and ultimately went back empty-handed, after a clinical Brunsmeer outfit went in at the break 3-0 up. Although they netted four times following the restart, Shields conceded another three as the opportunity to mount a courageous comeback escaped them.

South Shields Women conclude their 2025/26 NERWFL Premier Division campaign with a trip to Brunsmeer Athletic Women this Sunday (2pm kick-off). The lasses are yet to make their longest trip of the season - in the league at least - and they will now come up against the Sheffield-based side. They made history last time out as the Mariners reached the NERWFL League Cup Final with a 2-1 win against a hard-working Birtley Town Ladies side, but the focus now is on securing three po

Due to the large allocation that the league requires us to provide Kidderminster Harriers FC, it has been determined by the Security team and the Police that the only way to guarantee a safe match day experience is to house them under the shelters in front of the 3G pitch at the Stadium. This is to make sure that we have adequate safety procedures and facilities in place. All possibilities were looked at, but it was concluded that this option was the safest one. As we all kno

Julie Raffel has looked back on a “really special” night for South Shields Women after her brace sent the side through to the NERWFL League Cup Final on Thursday. The versatile attacker proved to be the difference-maker in a very tight contest against Birtley Town Ladies, and she dug deep late on to secure the victory. “It was really special,” she reflected. “Scoring two goals in a big game is an amazing feeling, and I’m just happy I could help the team.” After taking the lea

Julie Raffel's brace - which included a late winner - sent South Shields Women to the NERWFL League Cup Final against Birtley Town Ladies on Thursday night. The Mariners' evening got off to a flyer, thanks to Raffel’s 19th minute opener, but unfortunately for the hosts, a comfortable victory wasn't in store as with 12 minutes remaining, Nichole Havery struck the visitors level. It caused a nervy finish for both sides, until Raffel took the game by the scruff of the neck and b

South Shields Women aim to book their spot in the NERWFL League Cup Final when they take on Birtley Town Ladies on Thursday night (7:30pm kick-off). The lasses will play at Ford Hub hopeful of getting the result they need, but standing in their way are a resolute Birtley Town side who are undefeated in the NERWFL Northern Division. In fact, tomorrow’s visitors are currently on a 15-game winning streak in all competitions - including a victory against Alnwick Town Ladies in th

Reese Hopkinson made the dream start to life with South Shields Women as part of the side which thrashed Ossett United Women 5-1 yesterday. The lasses dealt much of the damage during the first-half, with Madison Bouggess netting a hat-trick in just under 30 minutes during the opening 45 minutes, but Hopkinson played her part after she was brought on to help secure the victory. “I really enjoyed playing the game [yesterday] with the girls,” the debutant reflected. “I have been

Madison Bouggess’ fabulous four finishes fired South Shields Women to a rampant 5-1 victory against Ossett United Women on Sunday. The NERWFL Premier Division clash got off to a flyer for the Mariners as they went two goals up within the first 14 minutes - Demi Pine scored the opener and just seven minutes later, Bouggess doubled their lead. Unfortunately, the lasses couldn’t celebrate their Sunday afternoon with a clean sheet as in the 21st minute, Emily Burgin pulled one ba

South Shields Women host Ossett United Women this Sunday in what will be their penultimate game in the league (2:30pm kick-off). It is the lasses’ last home match in the NERWFL Premier Division, and they will be looking to end the season on a high note following recent difficult results. While there is next week’s NERWFL League Cup Semi-Final tie at home to Birtley Town Ladies to look forward to, attention fully remains on the task at hand this weekend. Sunday’s visitors suff

Goalscorer Madison Bouggess can look back on a “really special moment” as she netted her 10th goal for South Shields Women’s First Team in their defeat to Alnwick Town. The South Shields FC Women’s International Academy forward was delighted to grab her 11th goal of the season - after scoring once for the Reserve Team - and take away what was a positive memory for her despite the final outcome. “It’s a really special moment for me to get my 10th goal, and I’m so happy about i
