Billingham Ladies are moving in another direction - to Crook in fact.

The Teesside-based team are upping sticks and have accepted a request from the Millfield Ground club to move, with the switch taking effect next season.

Manager, Alan Dodds, is delighted with the switch which he says will provide his team with a much better playing surface as they currently use a school playing field.

He said: "We're very grateful to Crook for allowing us to play there.

"Stephen Buddle has been a great help so it's thanks to him for us moving there.£

Moving to Crook shouldn't be a problem as the majority of the players are from that area.
