Durham WSL2 Club Saved from Folding

Durham captain Sarah Wilson has expressed relief after the club secured investment that saved it from folding. The WSL2 side had issued a warning on June 8 that they would have to "cease operations" without fresh funds within 21 days.

Wilson described the period as "horrendous" but said with the new investment from local businessman Geoff Thompson and his co-investor, it "honestly feels now that nothing's ever happened." The club, which has been ever-present in WSL2 since 2014, finished 10th in the second tier last season. newsindata.com
