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.

Update: The First Team's fixture at home to Ossett United has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. South Shields Women return home on Sunday as they look to make it five wins in a row in all competitions when they take on Ossett United Women (1:30pm kick-off). A dominating first-half blitz saw the lasses put five goals past last week’s hosts Harrogate Town AFC Women before Tianna Hill sealed the 6-1 win with a tap-in after the break. Ossett United played their first gam
