Town are readying themselves for their upcoming NFL Premiership season, having been offered a spot in the revamped top flight following the Northumberland Football League Women's recent AGM, which restructured the league system, essentially reshaping three divisions into two.

And ahead of the upcoming season, Morpeth played out a late sharing of the spoils at Craik Park on Saturday afternoon. Town took the lead courtesy of Kiera Davidson, but were pegged back by their Gateshead-based visitors, who equalised with the final kick of the contest.

Elsewhere, Morpeth are set to compete in the Adobe Women’s FA Cup for the first time this season. Town have been drawn away to Boro Rangers in the preliminary round of the competition, which is scheduled to take place on Sunday, August 23rd. A venue is yet to be confirmed.
