League Cup visit at Wallsend up next for SSFC Women

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 United Women at the weekend, so the team will be looking to continue that strong display heading into Sunday's cup tie.
