WELCOME TO THE NEW SEASON, 2017-18
The draws for County Cup competitions are now live on this website - so hopefully matches will now be being played.
Our County Squads (U16 boys, Under 16 girls, Under 18 boys) are selected and practice sessions and practice matches are underway.
Our first County matches will be as follows:
Saturday 7th October 2017
Under 16 boys and Under 18 boys v North Yorkshire
Newcastle University Cochrane Park Sports Ground,
Etherstone Avenue, NE7 7JX
11.00 kick off
'COUNTY' or 'DISTRICT' ??
We often get queries from parents about how their child can go to a trial for a 'County' team. These queries are often about younger players. Please note that County teams are for U16 and U18 players only.
Younger players can represent their District - which District this is depends where the school is located.
This website does NOT carry information about District affairs - however you can find the details for each District's officers here.

The Executive Committee of the Northumberland Schools' FA is pleased to announce the following appointments for the forthcoming season:
