Despite going much of the season unbeaten, Durham Women will spend another season in the FA Women’s Championship after a second-placed finish in the 2020- 21 season.
It was a season that had, for a long while, seemed to promise as a strong start saw the Wildcats top the league in October.
After a 1-1 draw to open the season away at newly-relegated Liverpool, Durham picked up momentum with victories against Lewes, London City, and Crystal Palace alongside a draw with eventual champions Leicester City.
It soon appeared to be a four-way fight for the title as 2020 neared its close, with Leicester, Sheffield United, and former Super League champions Liverpool all grouped closely together at the top of the table.
