Legg "buzzing" with SSFC Women's statement win over Moors Ladies

South Shields Women stormed to a 4-0 win against Spennymoor Town Ladies in the Third Round of the NERWFL League Cup on Sunday.

McMahon bullet header not enough for SSFC Women against Spennymoor Town
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.
