Saturday 25th April 2026 – WNIHL Under 16 Girls North: 
Whitley Bay U16G 14 - Deeside Dragons U16G 0

The Deeside Dragons Under 16 girls team’s slender chances of winning the league title were dashed after a 14-0 defeat away to league leaders Whitley Bay on Saturday.

Whitley were by far the stronger team, with a 100% record for the season so far, and were on top from the very start.

The result means that Whitley have secured their third league title in a row and the Dragonettes will finish the season as runners-up, which is still a superb achievement in only their second year of competition.

The top two teams will take part in the end of season play off weekend in Sheffield from 23rd to 25th May where they will play against the top two finishers from the U16 League South to decide a national champion.

The Dragons girls have another trip to Sheffield before that, however, as they take on the Sheffield Shadows U16s on Saturday 9th May in their last game of the regular season.
