About Newcastle Benfield FC
Newcastle Benfield is a senior non-league football club competing in the Ebac Northern League Division One, at Step 5 of the English football pyramid. The club moved to its current ground, Sam Smith's Park on Benfield Road in Walkergate, in 1990, and the ground holds around 2,000.
A visit to Benfield is a classic small-ground non-league afternoon, with modest admission and a friendly crowd. The club is linked to Newcastle Benfield Juniors, a large youth section, and its derbies with fellow Northern League side Newcastle Blue Star are a highlight of the local calendar. Check the club's social media for fixtures and kick-off times.
