Durham Women to host Newcastle United as fans welcomed back

  • +1

Durham Women will finish their pre-season campaign against Newcastle United on Sunday, August 22 (12pm kick-off).

The friendly will act as the Wildcats’ final warm-up game ahead of the 2021/22 season and will also be the first time that supporters will enter the club’s home ground at Maiden Castle – as they watch the side for the first time since February 2020.

The game will be the first time that two sides have played publicly and will give Durham fans a first in-person look at the side following a successful 2020/21 campaign, in which the club finished second in the competitive FA Women’s Championship.

Lee Sanders’ side have already undergone a gruelling pre-season schedule including a number of competitive friendlies, and will now complete their preparations with what is sure to be a fascinating North East derby.
