ewcastle Benfield FC is based at the Sam Smiths Sports Ground and their
first team currently competes in the Northern League Division 1. They are
led by Chairman Jimmy Rowe who is supported by Secretary Gary Thompson and
the club is looking to progress under their guidance.
The club entered the Northern League
after winning the Northern Alliance
title in 2002/03 and made an immediate
impact, finishing as runners up to gain
promotion to the First Division.
The team then surpassed all
expectations the following year as they
50 Issue 71
led the league for six months before
eventually finishing in fourth place. They
have enjoyed an unbroken tenure in the
First Division ever since.
This season their first team has put
together a solid league campaign, having
put together a record of sixteen wins, ten
draws and sixteen defeats from their forty
two matches. This saw them finish in a
safe mid-table position with fifty eight
points on the board.
This should provide them with the
perfect platform from which to build as
they look ahead to the 2017/18 campaign.
