FC Hartlepool Ladies v Horden Community Welfare Women

This Sunday, Horden Community Welfare Women will face off against league champions FC Hartlepool in a highly anticipated match. As the current table standings show, FC Hartlepool is sitting comfortably at the top with 13 wins and 3 draws, having not suffered a single loss throughout the season. In contrast, Horden has secured 9 wins, 1 draw, and 6 losses, placing them third in the league.

The reverse fixture between the two teams, which took place in October, saw FC Hartlepool emerge victorious with a 4-1 win. Lucie Jackson scored the lone goal for Horden, while Demi Fielding, Leonie Hutchinson, and Kezia Wallace all found the back of the net for FC Hartlepool. Despite the setback, Horden has shown significant progress over the past month or so, demonstrating their strength and resilience as a team.

With FC Hartlepool having already been crowned champions, the focus now shifts to the battle for second place. Horden is currently embroiled in a tight three-horse race with Stockton Town Youth Ladies Reserves and Brandon United. As of the latest update, Brandon United has surged into second place with 30 points after a 7-0 win over Seaton Carew Ladies FC on Thursday (14th May) leaving Horden trailing closely behind with 28 points.

The stakes are high, and the upcoming match against FC Hartlepool will be a crucial test of Horden's mettle. Despite the challenge, the team's recent performances have been impressive, and they will undoubtedly look to carry this momentum into their final two matches of the season.

A favorable outcome on Sunday, combined with other results going their way, could potentially propel Horden into the coveted second spot.

As the team prepares to face the league champions, they can draw inspiration from their recent progress and the knowledge that they have the potential to upset the odds. Hopefully better weather conditions this time round too 🤞🏻.

In conclusion, this weekend's match promises to be an exciting and closely contested encounter between two talented teams. With the second-place finish still within their grasp, Horden Community Welfare Women will be looking to give it their all and make the most of this opportunity.

Come on, Horden – you have the potential to achieve great things, and this is your chance to shine.

📷 📷 Calling all aspiring photographers 📷 📷

Are you eager to get into the world of sports photography, particularly football, but unsure where to start? Or perhaps you're just starting out and looking for more opportunities to hone your skills and gain experience? If so, you're in luck. With 24 years of experience in photography and a self-taught background, I'm excited to offer a unique opportunity for someone to join me and learn the ropes of capturing the action on the pitch.

I must acknowledge that my own journey in sports photography has been made possible by the incredible support and opportunities provided by the players, coaches, and families of the football community I've had the privilege of working with during the 25/26 season. Their trust, cooperation, and encouragement have been invaluable, and I'm forever grateful for the opportunities they've afforded me.

My social media page, which has become a showcase for my work, is a testament to the power of collaboration and community in the world of female football, it is one big footballing family.

As a way of giving back to the community that has given me so much, I'd like to pay it forward by offering someone the chance to learn and grow alongside me. I've been fortunate enough to work with some brilliant teams, many of whom I regularly photograph, and I'm confident that they will welcome you with open arms, just as they did me.

Please note that this opportunity is a voluntary one, which means it is non-paying. However, the experience, skills, and networking opportunities you'll gain will be invaluable in helping you launch your career in sports photography.

I look forward to hearing from you and exploring how we can work together to capture the action and excitement of the beautiful game.

A bit of a delay with the match photos from St Francis Women’s FC v FC Darlington Locomotives Development. Unfortunately, after the match yesterday the car decided to light my dashboard up like a Christmas tree so trying to get that sorted out.
