We continue to take a closer look at the new sides entering the National League North for the 2026/27 season. We are heading up to the North East next.
Hebburn Town is a side we have faced before, from when we won the Northern Premier League title in the 2024/25 season and gave the Silkmen two competitive fixtures.
The Hornets, as they are known, have seen a remarkable rise over the past ten years, where they were competing in the Northern League amongst other sides in the Tyne & Wear area, to where they are today, about to embark on the highest level of football in their history.
In and amongst this continued success was a famous day at Wembley for the Hornets as they defeated Consett in the final to win the Isuzu FA Vase back in the 2019/20 season (which was delayed until May 2021).
This season has been one like no other for Hebburn as they won the Northern Premier League title despite the odds being against them, fighting off the likes of Hednesford Town and FC United of Manchester, to secure a memorable moment for the Hornets.
It’ll be a nice return to the Hebburn Sports and Social Ground for Silkmen supporters in the 2026/27 season.
