Regardless of the attendance on Sunday, Becky Langley and her Newcastle Women's team were always going to make history as they stepped out at St. James' Park for the first time. However, with over 20,000 passionate Geordies showing their support, the day will go down as a truly special one in the club's history. A number of young girls undoubtedly went home and told their parents they want to play for NUFC in the future.
Wor Flags put on another fantastic display in stands, little over 24 hours after their incredible pre-match showing against Liverpool. The women's team in particular were touched by the 'Howay The Lasses' sign in the Gallowgate before kick-off.
On the pitch, it was a clearcut win against an Alnwick Town side who battled until the end. Katie Barker, Brooke Cochrane, Georgia Gibson and Beth Guy each grabbed a goal as Langley's side agonisingly missed out on the FA Women's National League Division One North title.
