Wearside Must Unite to Protect Its Remaining Community Clubs

With Silksworth CW becoming the latest club to fold, Wearside must rally behind its remaining community clubs before more are lost.

The resignation of Silksworth CW from the Wearside League is both unfortunate and deeply saddening, marking another blow for grassroots football in Sunderland. Everyone connected with the club deserves recognition for their efforts over the years, and I wish them every success in whatever comes next.
