SSFC Women kick-off league season with Moors visit

South Shields Women’s league campaign gets underway this Sunday with an away trip to Spennymoor Town Ladies (2pm kick-off).

The rest of the NERWFL Premier Division played their first game last week, but with the Mariners out of action, the lasses hosted Park View AFC Women in a pre-season friendly instead.

Shields visit The Brewery Field hoping to get their season off to the dream start.

The two teams met on the opening day last season; Eve Gatens and Annece Legg were among the goalscorers in a 4-1 win at Harton Welfare.

“Also, going against Spennymoor is always a good game so I’m looking forward to it!”
