Boldon topped the Durham League Premier, with Brandon United, Seaham Coast, and Washington Reserves also clinching divisional titles.

Boldon CA only missed out on five points from a possible 54 in winning the Premier Division title but were still pushed all the way by Gateshead Leam Rangers, who finished just a couple of points short. Darlington took third spot but were as much as 15 points behind the runners-up.

The Premier Division Cup Final saw Boldon chasing glory, but they suffered at the hands of a clinical Durham Cestria Reserves team, who delivered a rather harsh 10-2 scoreline which featured an Eden Varah hat-trick.

Brandon won the First Division Cup Final but had to hold off a late comeback from Stockton Town Reserves to edge a thrilling nine-goal match, with Leoni Manning and Charlotte Proud both bagging a brace.
