Match Report: NUWFC v BCWFC – 18/3/26 Barclays Women’s Super League 2
After a frustrating match against Sheffield for all concerned (see previous report), our game in hand was against Birmingham City who were second before kick-off (the Lasses were fifth) occupying the second automatic promotion spot. In the reverse fixture the Lasses went down 4-2, so not only was a positive result important for the league position, they would want to make up for that poor performance at St Andrews.
Another team in black & white were playing at the same time as the Lasses; the Not Lasses in the knock-out stages of the Champions League. In the pub beforehand fans had their phones and tablets out watching that game, dreaming of the time when there’re two Newcastle teams competing regularly in that competition. No more mention of that other match from me…
Mannion, Kelly and Hayles had all played for the Blues before, none of the opposition players have worn the black & white.
