Middlesbrough and Norton Kick Off the new FA National League Season

 The new season kicks off this Sunday as Middlesbrough and Norton both start their FA National League campaigns.


Middlesbrough begin their season with a trip to Bradford City. Following their relegation from the Premier Division Boro will be looking to challenge for an immediate return but, know they'll face stiff opposition from the likes of Leeds, Durham, and Newcastle. The Bantams ended last term in seventh place and will want to build on that this time around.


Norton & Stockton Ancients start the season at home against newly promoted York City. Norton finished last season in eighth place level on points with Bradford and only one point behind Stockport. It was Norton's best finish and points tally to date. After coming close to promotion on many occasions York finally earned their promotion after winning the NERWFL.

  Hartlepool Utd host Redcar Town at East Durham College in the North East Regional Women's Football League Premier this Sunday. Pools have had a tough start to the season losing their opening four games with a humbling away loss at Ossett Utd last weekend the first such heavy loss they've suffered. In contrast Redcar have enjoyed a very good start to the season winning three of their games and only losing by a penalty against current leaders York City. Redcar are in second place while Pools sit at the foot of the table where anything but defeat this weekend could lift off the bottom. With the quality the hosts possess, it's only a matter of time until they start registering points on the board. With York currently unbeaten and facing fellow unbeaten side Sunderland West End this Sunday, it's important for Town to keep pace wit the league leaders. They'll also be looking to maintain their momentum ahead of next week's FA Cup game against National League Leeds
