History of Sunderland Women

Sunderland Women have been for the last 7 years, the highest ranking women’s football team in the North East.

Sunderland Women were formed 8 years ago when East Durham Houghall Kestrels and Sunderland Ladies combined to come under the umbrella of ‘Sunderland Women’. Prior to this their roots lay in Tyneside with Blyth Kestrels.

Since the merger Sunderland Ladies have consistently performed to a very high standard.  They have played four seasons in the Northern Division and three seasons in the Women’s Premier League.

In the seasons 2002/2003 and 2003/2004 Sunderland Women finished runners up in the Northern Division, only just missing promotion to the premiership on both occasions.

Season 2004 – 2005 saw Sunderland secure promotion to the Premier League winning the Northern Division by 6 clear points.  For the first time in their history they reached the quarter finals of the Women’s FA Cup, only losing to a strong Charlton team in the last few minutes of the game.

Season 2005 – 2006 ended with the club retaining their position in the top flight.

Season 2006 – 2007 – ended with Sunderland being relegated to the Women Premier League Northern Division.

Within the Sunderland team we are proud to have players of international standard:

1 player in the England Under 19’s squad
3 players in the England Under 17’s squad

We also have a highly successful reserve team who play in Division 1 of the Premier League Northern/Midlands Section.
