The third goal of the game went the hosts’ way, as Wallsend stabbed one back one minute befor

South Shields Women are back on the road as they turn their focus towards the NERWFL League Cup against Wallsend BC Women this Sunday. The revived tournament sees the Mariners enter in the Second Round and they come up against a Wallsend BC side who are winless in the league so far. Sunday’s hosts have instead found their form in the Adobe Women’s FA Cup, where they have mounted an incredible run to the Second Round Proper. Shields are coming off a 3-1 win against Ossett Unit

Kennedy Green was delighted to see the hard work during the week pay off during South Shields Women’s 3-1 win against Ossett United Women on Sunday. It took a lot of fight and determination within the group to turn things around after the hosts initially took the lead, but a second-half comeback was completed thanks to efforts by Faye Killeen, Tianna Hill and Annece Legg. Revelling in her delight following the Mariners’ hard-fought victory, Green beamed: “Everything we have b

South Shields Women completed a second-half comeback in a 3-1 win against Ossett United Women on Sunday. The lasses fell behind initially, following an otherwise dominant first-half performance, after Emily Burgin headed an effort past Anna Yeakey in the 28th minute. In the glare of the setting West Yorkshire sun, Shields found form in front of goal and strikes by Faye Killeen - her first for the club - Tianna Hill and Annece Legg flipped the game on its head. It is an inspir

South Shields Women are looking to put the disappointment of last week’s Adobe Women’s FA Cup exit behind them as they visit Ossett United Women this Sunday (2pm kick-off). It is the First Team’s first outing in the NERWFL Premier Division for over a month - their last league game came in a 4-0 win against Wallsend BC Women on Sunday, September 28th. Annece Legg scored all four goals that afternoon with a stand-out second-half performance. Ossett United head into the game hav

Julie Raffel admitted South Shields Women found things “tough” against AFC Fylde Women in their Adobe Women’s FA Cup exit on Sunday. The lasses had high hopes heading into the First Round Proper tie following convincing performances against Washington FC Women, Fleetwood Town Wrens and Wallsend BC Women in all competitions previously, but it wasn’t to be. AFC Fylde came out comfortable 5-0 winners at 1st Cloud Arena. “Yeah, Sunday was a tough one,” she shared. “We didn’t real

South Shields Women exited the Adobe Women’s FA Cup at the First Round Proper stage in a 5-0 defeat to AFC Fylde Women on Sunday. The opening goal was one that was scored in quick time, with the visitors going one goal to the good through Hollie Kelsh-Ridge in the third minute of the game. The second was rifled in by Lois Moore on the stroke of the half-hour mark. Fylde went on to score a further three goals in the second-half, with goals coming from Molly Kelly, Kelsh-Ridge

South Shields Women host AFC Fylde Women this Sunday in the First Round Proper of the Adobe Women’s FA Cup at 1st Cloud Arena (2pm kick-off). It is shaping up to be the biggest game of the season, with a maiden appearance at the club’s main stadium this campaign, ahead of what will no doubt be an electrifying tie between two sides in good form. AFC Fylde are unbeaten in 11 games in all competitions, which included a staggering run of 10 consecutive games won, while Shields ha

Faye Killeen has spoken of her delight following South Shields Women’s dominant 4-0 win against Washington FC Women in the DCFA Women’s Challenge Cup. The lasses put in a confident display to comfortably see themselves through to the Quarter-Final, against a resolute Washington side who tried to make things tough. “I’m really happy with the team’s performance [on Sunday],” she reflected following the game. “It was nice to see how we all worked together and to see the hard wor

Tianna Hill netted a brace, for the second week running, to fire South Shields Women into the Quarter-Final of the DCFA Women’s Challenge Cup on Sunday. They began the clash in superb style, opening the deadlock right before the half hour mark thanks to Gatens’ cool strike. The Mariners had to wait until the second-half before they were two goals to the good, with the second coming from Hill in the 59th minute. Their pursuit in front of goal continued with goals three and fou

South Shields Women host Washington FC Women in the DCFA Women’s Challenge Cup Preliminary Round this Sunday (1:30pm kick-off). The lasses will be hoping to continue their good run of form, following last week’s progression in the Adobe Women’s FA Cup and recent positive results against Wallsend BC Women and Alnwick Town Ladies. This week’s focus, however, is Washington, who visit Harton Welfare in the hope of advancing to the Quarter Final stage. Washington have had a stormi

Tianna Hill says that she feels “elated” after netting her first brace for South Shields Women.

She also netted in the 79th minute and assisted Annece Legg’s second goal in the 91st minute, to cap off a fine performance in Lancashire. “I feel elated!” she exclaimed. “Thought the team put in a gr
