Match Report: NUWFC vs Ipswich Town Women’s FC
After two months away, Mark Stutt was back at Gateshead International Stadium to watch Newcastle United Women take on Ipswich Town — and it proved a frustrating return. A brilliant, looping strike from Beth Lumsden lit up a dominant first-half display, but the Lasses were pegged back and couldn’t turn control into victory. With promotion ambitions stalling, it took a late save from Anna Tamminen to rescue a point on a sobering afternoon.

Unveiling the punch: Legacy of boxing in North Shields
Through the eyes of local author Terry Patterson, we dive into North Shields’ rich boxing heritage. From the Tyne Boys Club of the ’50s to the famed “BLOODKIT” gym, Terry recalls legends like Manny Burgo Senior and Stan Hawthorn. His own journey began despite being born with club foot, guided by coach Joe Myers. After setbacks and tragedy, Terry continued shaping the sport across several clubs. Retiring in 1986, his story reflects the resilience, passion, and community spirit that define local boxing.
Christ Church bell ringers: ringing the changes of Shields for more than 200 years
For nearly 240 years, the soundscape of North Shields has been shaped not just by gulls and foghorns, but by the proud, resonant peal of Christ Church’s ten historic bells. First installed in 1788—after an ill-fated original set was lost at sea—the bells have rung out from their ship’s-oak beams through royal birthdays, national celebrations, and countless Sunday mornings. Today, the tradition is kept alive by a warm, multigenerational band of bell ringers who climb the church’s spiral stairs every Tuesday evening to “ring the changes.” Led by ringing master Karen Dickinson, the group blends centuries-old technique with modern camaraderie (and homemade cake), welcoming newcomers of all ages to be part of one of the town’s oldest living rhythms.
