In front of around 500 fans, Newcastle’s women’s team lost out in their derby match against the enemy.
The match at the Hetton Centre saw Sunderland run out 3-1 winners.
The home side had raced into a three goal lead in the first half and it could have been worse as they missed a penalty just before half-time.
There was a big improvement in the second-half with Molly Collinson scoring for Newcastle and a bonus clean sheet in that second forty five.
