We currently play in the Northumberland Girls Football League based at Complete Football, Gosforth. The team has been going for 3 years now and are continuously on the lookout for new players.

Whilst the league does have a very competitive edge to it and formal divisional winners and runners up receive prizes, the League places a lot of emphasis on participation and development.

Both managers are F.A. qualified in the coaching of football to children, which includes a Child Protection Workshop and are subject to Criminal Record Bureau checks.

All new players are welcome and should anybody be interested to do so, please contact JOHNATHAN LAND on 07891050492 or ANDY COOKE on 07970414940.
