SSFC Women make short trip to Ponteland United this Sunday

South Shields Women look to shake off last week’s postponement as they make the short visit to Ponteland United Women this Sunday (2pm kick-off).

The lasses were out of action as heavy rainfall resulted in a waterlogged pitch at Harton Welfare, but attention turns to Ponteland United, who the Mariners are yet to face this season.

Annece Legg scored Shields’ first goal of 2025 when they last made the trip to Ponteland Leisure Centre, although the game finished 4-1 to the hosts.

Ponteland were also 2-0 victors in February 2025 when the two teams most recently met, while Shields found fortune in the Adobe Women’s FA Cup last season with a 3-1 win in September 2024.

Kelsi’s thoughts

We caught up with Kelsi Hoot ahead of the weekend’s action and here’s what she had to say.

“Everyone is super excited to get back on the pitch after being postponed [last week] so I think we will come out super strong. 

“We’ve been wanting another win to keep the streak going and we will do whatever it takes to get one.”

Kick-off at Ponteland Leisure Centre (NE20 9EG) is at 2pm this Sunday, February 8th.
