Hebburn Town AutismAble FC 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.

This success marks the latest chapter in our story of inclusive football. It is our third league triumph overall, adding to earlier titles in 2017 and 2019.

We would like to thank all involved at Hebburn Town. Their welcoming support and top-class facilities have given our players the perfect place to make friends and enjoy the game.

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.
