Through the infusion of substantial time and monetary resources, our ultimate objective is to foster the growth of sports and provide a solid platform for local teams to thrive.

Allow us to present our esteemed current roster, which comprises remarkable individuals and teams who embody the spirit of dedication and excellence in sports:

  1. Birtley FC: Birtley FC, a local team hailing from the vibrant community, has been valiantly competing in the EBAC Northern League Second Division. Notably, they earned their well-deserved recognition by clinching their inaugural trophy in 1998. This glorious triumph came to fruition when they overcame the formidable Annfield Plain in the League Challenge Cup Final.
  2. FC Cherry Tree: Another noteworthy addition to our esteemed roster is FC Cherry Tree, a recently formed local team. Despite their relatively young existence, they have already begun making waves in the sporting realm. Presently, they are actively engaged in the fiercely competitive Blyth and Wansbeck Sunday League, showcasing their passion and determination.

Hailing from the illustrious town of Gateshead in Tyne and Wear, Calum French has recently inked a momentous long-term promotional agreement with Eddie Hearn's prestigious Matchroom Boxing.
