The Barclays Women's Championship got off to a flying start this weekend with fixtures up and down the country, including a derby clash between Durham and Sunderland.
Durham Women's FC and Sunderland AFC Women's played at a sold-out Maiden Castle on Sunday afternoon, with the North East getting behind the women's game. People of all ages turned up to see the ladies go head-to-head in a game which kicked-off at 12.30pm.
And it didn't take long for Durham to take the lead as Saoirse Noonan scored in the tenth minute. The goal was met with cheers and clapping from the crowd, however, it didn't take long for Sunderland to follow with an equaliser from Brianna Westrup.
