Durham County Schools FA U18s v Merseyside SFA U18s at Meadow Park

There's a youth football feast at Meadow Park, 6:30pm, Thursday, 15 March as Durham County Schools FA U18s meet Merseyside in the semi-final of the Northern Counties Championship, looking to gain revenge for their only defeat of the season at the hands of Merseyside in the ESFA National Trophy.

Merseyside have since booked their place in the final of the National Inter-County Trophy having defeated Durham, South Yorkshire, Lancashire and Northumberland on their way and they will meet either Hertfordshire or Essex in the final in April.

Carl Beasley appointed Assistant Manager

Thank You to all our Partners and Sponsors

Getting towards the end of the season and time to say a well deserved thank you to all those who help us out through the season. Principal thanks go to Springboard, whose vision for what the club can create as a community sporting hub for Sunderland is inching closer to reality every year. Big thanks as well of course to Gentoo, our shirt sponsors, who share the vision with Springboard. Can we forget the corned beef pie? I really don't think so, very many thanks to Derek and Catherine Winlow and their staff at The Promenade, Sunderland's premier seafront hostelry if you happen to be down Seaburn way. You are always sure of a warm welcome at the Promenade, that's for sure. And a final thank you to all our programme advertisers, your support is vital and much appreciated. Thank you all, hopefully see you all next season, this could be the year!
