Dave Higgins’ side earned their spot in the division after an impressive campaign in the North East Regional Women's Football League Division 1 South, and were six points clear when the decision was made to curtail the campaign with eight games left to go.
They were ultimately given a spot in the North East Women's Regional Football League Premier Division ahead of the 2020/21 campaign, but managed just five games before another lockdown kicked in and the decision this week to curtail once again – with no promotions or relegations.

As for the seniors, they’re waiting to hear from NEWRFL about the potential of some friendly games and/or a round robin tournament that has been spoken about that would mean a return to action for Higgins’ outfit.
SWLFC will no doubt be looking forward to stepping out in their new kits and Elev8 training wear after they recently kitted out all of their teams from the Owl’s kit suppliers, and the latest break will give the senior team chance to get as prepared as possible for their fifth tier return next season.
