On the final day of the Women’s National League Division One North season on Sunday, May 1, Newcastle will host Barnsley Women at the iconic city centre stadium (2pm kick-off).
They currently sit top of the table, four points ahead of second placed Liverpool, who have two games in hand. The battle for promotion to England’s third tier of women’s football could go down to the wire.
