Hebburn Town AutismAble have lifted the Durham FA Inclusion League trophy after a thrilling season that was decided in the very last match. Our players held their nerve to finish one point clear of the excellent Inspired Support side, sealing our first championship since affiliating with Hebburn Town two years ago.
Christopher Eagling our clubs Ability Lead had the following to say about the teams success "I'm proud of every single one of the lads that played this season, the effort and commitment week in week out in training has shown on the pitch".
We would also like to thank Andrea and everyone at Durham FA for running a league where autistic and neurodivergent players can compete on equal terms in a safe, friendly space in which footballers of all abilities can shine.
Planning for the 2025-26 season is already under way, and we are keen to meet new teammates. Whether you are an experienced coach, a first-time player, or simply curious to try inclusive football, we would love to hear from you. We also run Hebburn Town AutismAble Gold, a less-physical team designed for anyone who prefers a gentler pace.
