However Durham FC are yet to gain any points with four loses so far this season. They have scored five goals in the four games, however not enough to get any points. Unfortunately conceding 13 goals in those games, they will be looking for some points in their upcoming games.
Angela Brady, admin of the Newcastle United Women’s Fan Group, said: “What us fans would love to get out of this Tesco partnership is for more local people to know about our fixtures, the league structure, the players and their abilities.
“It is really exciting to have such a big company show it’s support.”
Katie Hume, admin of the Sunderland AFC Women’s Fan Group, said: “I think it’s a fantastic partnership and helps raise awareness of the Tesco free fruit and veg for schools programme, encouraging younger people to be healthy as well as giving fans an incentive to go to games.
