Miller wants SSFC Women to use Brunsmeer Athletic defeat as one of many "learning experiences"
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.

Miller reflective after SSFC Women's defeat vs Alnwick Town
South Shields Women Head Coach Alex Miller was in a reflective mood following her side's 4-1 defeat to Alnwick Town Ladies in the NERWFL Premier Division on Sunday.

Madison Bouggess brought one back 14 minutes later, but their three-goal cushion was restored with three minutes to spare. “Tough result toda
