SSFC Women visit The Brewery Field for Moors encounter

South Shields Women travel to Spennymoor Town Ladies this Sunday for the first of three crucial NERWFL Premier Division games (2pm kick-off).

Shields head into the game full of confidence following their recent three-game winning streak, which featured a double against Harrogate Town AFC Women and a win against Sunderland West End Ladies under the 1st Cloud Arena floodlights. 

The Moors are also coming into the game strong, fresh off the back of a 7-1 away win against bottom-placed Hull United Women, and they will be wanting to put in a strong performance in front of their supporters.

The two teams haven’t met since the opening day of the season, where the lasses won 4-1 at Harton Welfare – two goals by Annece Legg, as well as singular strikes by Sophie Greener and Eve Gatens secured the three points that day.

Last time we met

Sophie’s thoughts

Co-head coach Sophie Clough spoke ahead of Sunday’s game about the recent winning spell, as well as whether past fortunes at The Brewery Field might be a talking point this time around.

Josie’s thoughts

Defender Josie Foster spoke to us this week in the run-up for this weekend’s match.

She said: “It’s nice to go into the game on a three-game winning streak and knowing we’ve been playing some really good football. 

“We know Spennymoor have been doing well this season, but I think everyone’s ready to play at The Brewery Field and hopefully come away with the three points!”

Information for supporters

Kick-off at The Brewery Field (DL16 6JN) is at 2pm this Sunday, April 13th.
