Hebburn Town FC officially launched it's first ever female competitive side "Hebburn Women FC" at a special launch day that included a make over photoshoot for some of the women's team members and a launch party at Hebburn Sports Club with special guests in attendance.

The event marked an historic moment for the club and started a new partnership with the women's team main sponsor Station Boutique.

The launch party special guests included the Mayor of South Tyneside Cllr John McCabe, Jarrow MP Kate Osborne along with local councilors from the Hebburn wards and guests of sponsors, friends and players families.

Club Chief Executive Stephen Rutherford said of the event I’m extremely proud and excited that the club has introduced it’s first ever female senior side ahead of the 23/24 season. This is an historic moment for Hebburn Town FC and for the growth of women's and girls football in the town and surrounding areas. The introduction of the women's first team is the next step in the clubs development that contributes our already national award winning “Just Play” recreational community sessions as well as enabling a clear pathway in the female side of the game for participants from the age of 3 right through to senior ages at the club.

It’s a huge privilege to partner with a local business “Station Boutique” as the women's first team main sponsor. Located in the heart of the town, the boutique focuses on women's latest fashion and will also offer official club merchandise from it’s Station Road store. Siobhan and Samantha have been a breath of fresh air and have provided some great advice and guidance that will help us promote our female teams across the board. The photo shoot & makeover event we have had today at the ground has been a great experience for some of our women's team and everyone looks like they have enjoyed themselves.

The future is certainly bright and I wish the women's first team all the success in the future. Ha’way the lasses”

Owner of Official sponsor Station Boutique Siobhan Duggan commented “Hebburn has such a vibrant community. The support that we have been shown in our first year of trading at Station Boutique has been phenomenal.

We feel very privileged to be able to give something back to the community and stand behind this team. This has been a historical weekend and we feel honoured to be part of it.”

We share the passion, love and pride for our hometown, “One Club, Our Community”.

The women's first team will play their games at Hebburn Sports Club on Sunday afternoons, entry is free to and we encourage families to come along and enjoy the facilities and the performances on show, keep an eye on social media or the clubs website for the latest fixture details.
