Ferryhill Athletic Football Club secure their promotion to the Wearside Premier League
Following a successful season Ferryhill Athletic Football Club have secured their promotion to the Wearside Premier League.
The club who was initially founded in 1921 were very successful over the years and had much history in Ferryhill until they folded in 2006.
The team returned to Ferryhill in January 2022 playing at Dean Bank Park. The team has continued to work hard to garner the recognition and promise they originally had. At the end of the season Ferryhill Athletic Football Club were named the champions of Division 1, finishing top of their table and winning the league before other teams in their league had finished their games.
Due to the teams sheer hard work, motivation and determination they received the news that they had been promoted to the Wearside Football League on the 22 April 2026.
This is extremely positive news for the Team and for Ferryhill and gives the Town and those who live in the Town, hope that Ferryhill does have a lot to be proud of.
On behalf of everyone at Ferryhill Town Council we wish the team every success as they continue their new journey in a new league. This is an exciting time for the team and one that could help put Ferryhill back on the map.
