The Visitors
- Newcastle romped to the FA Women’s National League Northern Division title last season – clinching a place in the Barclays Women’s Championship for the first time
- And it’s been a strong start to life in the second tier for Becky Langley’s side, who currently sit seventh in the table – with games in hand on all of the teams above them
- The Magpies’ last outing saw them beat Bristol City after a thrilling encounter, keeping their promotion hopes alive
- Indeed, Langleys’ troops have lost just twice in the league all season
- Key to that form has been summer signing Shania Hayles, who has netted nine league goals since her arrival from Bristol City
- Beth Lumsden has also been in fine form and has five goals to her name
Last Meeting
- The two sides last met in October, where Durham snatched victory at the death
- Mollie Lambert’s late goal was enough to seal a 1-0 win for the Blues at Kingston Park
