Ava England has admitted that “something had to change” in order for South Shields Women to get a result against Sunderland West End Ladies on Sunday. The lasses fought back from 2-0 down through a Tianna Hill brace, on either side of the half-time whistle, to finish 2-2. “In the first-half, I felt as if nothing was really clicking and as a team we all knew something had to change,” she said. “However, in the second-half, we came out strong and I felt as if we showed up with

South Shields Women battled back from two goals down to draw 2-2 against Sunderland West End Ladies on Sunday. West End - who Shields battered 6-1 in the NERWFL League Cup only two weeks ago - stunned the Mariners through first-half finishes by Amelia Dale and Eve Jones. However, Tianna Hill netted shortly before half-time and inspired an equaliser within a minute of the restart, but the team were unable to find a winner they would have deserved. It is a result which keeps th

Our Enterprise National League North fixture against Peterborough Sports, set to take place on Saturday, 29th, November, has been called off due to a waterlogged pitch. Once another date has been confirmed to reschedule the fixture, we will make supporters aware.

South Shields Women are hoping to bounce back from last week’s defeat when they make the short trip to face Sunderland West End Ladies in the NERWFL Premier Division (1:30pm kick-off). Becki McMahon’s second-half header wasn’t enough as Spennymoor Town Ladies completed a comeback to win 2-1 - firstly from the spot, and secondly from close range. It is a result which leaves Shields eighth in the league table with six points to their name after five games. This weekend’s hosts,

South Shields picked up another valuable three points on the road in a 3-0 win against newly-promoted Enterprise National League North side Worksop Town on Tuesday night. On-loan winger Lemar Gordon gave the visitors the lead shortly before half-time, before a Will Jenkins brace soon after the restart put the game beyond any doubt. The midweek game also saw Tom Watson keep his first clean sheet as a Mariner. Due to results elsewhere, it means that Shields remain top of the ta

Jen Wootten has urged her South Shields Women teammates to “bounce back stronger” after Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to Spennymoor Town Ladies. The Mariners took the lead in the 68th minute through captain Becki McMahon, before a quickfire double in the 78th and 80th minutes turned the game on its head. It came as a particularly harsh blow according to Wootten, who felt the lasses had performed well in the circumstances, but nevertheless she recognised the need to learn from the resul

Shields come into today’s clash against Craig Parry’s Worksop Town at the Windsor Food Service Stadium, looking to regain their winning form in the Enterprise National League North, as their latest fixture saw Ian Watson’s side drop points agonisingly to Telford in the 88th minute, after a great performance. The Mariners’ recent form in the league, however, has seen them fire in 11 goals in five games, putting four past AFC Fylde in an outstanding 4-2 comeback victory. Highli

Becki McMahon’s bullet header wasn’t enough for South Shields Women as they fell to a 2-1 defeat at home to Spennymoor Town Ladies on Sunday. The clash between the Mariners and the Moors saw many chances left squandered in both halves of football, with the opener coming with just 22 minutes to go - Shields’ McMahon headed it in from an Annece Legg cross. However, 10 minutes later, the visitors responded with a goal of their own via a Holly Doogan penalty. That equaliser sprun

South Shields were denied a late winner amid a frantic final five minutes in their game away to AFC Telford United on Saturday. Cedwyn Scott's 84th-minute opener appeared to have settled the result but Jordan Piggott had other ideas and levelled with one minute left on the clock. Results elsewhere mean the Mariners remain top of the Enterprise National League North table, now by two points as opposed to just one. Shields began the game well and controlled possession for large

The Mariners face Kevin Wilkin’s AFC Telford United in the Enterprise National League North at the SEAH Stadium. The Bucks currently find themselves in a difficult run of form, having only taken a point from their previous four games, and their most recent win came last month against Worksop Town, winning 2-1. Their top goalscorer is Remi Walker, who has netted seven times this season, his most recent being a 90th-minute equalizer against Macclesfield. Ian Watson’s side sit t

We are delighted to announce the signing of Lemar Gordon on loan from League One outfit Leyton Orient. Lemar (20) primarily plays his football as a right winger, but can play across the midfield, whether it be in the attacking midfielder role or as a left winger. Lemar spent his youth career at Premier League side Fulham, where he had been since the age of nine, but at the end of last season, he turned down a new deal to sign for Leyton Orient, on a 2-year contract. Gordon pu

South Shields Women return to NERWFL Premier Division action after a three week wait, with Spennymoor Town Ladies the visitors on Sunday (1:30pm kick-off).  It has been a productive few weeks for the lasses, who have progressed in both the NERWFL League Cup and DCFA Women’s Challenge Cup with their wins against Wallsend BC Women (3-1) and Sunderland West End Ladies (6-1) respectively. While that is exciting for the team, the focus immediately shifts to the league, where Shiel

Quick-fire Paul Blackett and Dillon Morse goals seal South Shields three points in comfortable 4-1 Oxford City win  The Mariners night seemed as though it was off to a flyer when Blackett netted in the 2nd minute, however the offside flag was raised. Eleven minutes later Oxford City were the side to open the deadlock thanks to Josh Parker’s efforts.  Ian Watson’s side responded defiantly, scoring two goals in three minutes through Blackett and Morse — turning the game on it’s

Desiree Rodriguez made headlines for South Shields Women with her brace against Sunderland West End Ladies at the weekend. It took just 58 seconds from the moment she came on during the first-half to when she rolled the ball into the back of the net. The first of two finishes by her in the DCFA Women’s Challenge Cup Quarter-Final tie, it played a significant part in the team's success, to which Rodriguez was pleased with how things went. “We’re all super ecstatic with how we

The Mariners face up against 22nd placed side, Oxford City, who have won four games from their seventeen played in the Enterprise National League North. Managed by Ross Jenkins, who was appointed in September 2024, led Oxford City to a 19th place finish last season, securing 53 points and safety in the National League North. Jenkins and his squad travel to the north east having put two wins in a row together, both at home against Hereford (3-0) and Worksop Town (2-0), so will

We have been drawn at home to Macclesfield in the Third Round Proper of the #IsuzuFATrophy, with ties set to be played on Saturday, 13th December.

Becki McMahon and Desiree Rodriguez doubled up as South Shields Women sweeped Sunderland West End Ladies aside in a 6-1 County Cup triumph on Sunday. McMahon brightened the Mariners’ Sunday afternoon in quick time, opening the deadlock in the third minute of the game.  The second and third goals of Shields’ afternoon came through substitute Desiree Rodriguez, in the 28th and 36th minute. McMahon then netted her second of the afternoon, and the Mariners’ fourth in the first-ha

Lennon Wheeldon’s scintillating double fires South Shields to third round of FA Trophy in eight-goal thriller The opener was an unfortunate one to take for the hosts as Daniel Wilson struck in the 19th minute dispatching from the penalty spot.  A defiant response was showcased by the Mariners as within twelve minutes of Dunston’s opener Ian Watson’s side had equalised and then took the lead thanks to Wheeldon and Paul Blackett. The fourth goal of the game saw Shields claim th
