Easington Colliery v Jarrow FC (17/09/2020)

 

Unusually for Jarrow, Thursday see’s the Blue & White army travel to Easington Colliery.

The last few meetings between the sides at Welfare Park have provided some great football but ultimately always a victory for the home side.

Even last seasons 4-2 win for Easington was a stand out game with Jarrow employing a new 5 at the back system and struggling for the first 45 but managing to come alive in the second.

It would also appear that early on in the season when Jarrow do travel down the A19 to Welfare Park, Easington are always near the top of the league and they enjoy fast starts to the season. They were top during last season’s game. They are an attractive side to watch at home and tonight should be no different as the home side sit 6th with 2 wins from 2 having a game in hand over most teams due to their postponed fixture with Washington last week.

For Jarrow they will have no doubt taken confidence from last week’s win over Durham City where an Adam Lennox hattrick got the Blue & White army their first 3 points.

Having already also beaten Durham City, Easington also collected 3 points against Billingham Synthonia where Jarrow have lost to Birtley and drew with West Allotment.

With only 1 league place separating the sides last season (Jarrow 8th, Easington 9th) tonight’s game should prove another fascinating encounter.

Even if the football doesn’t prove to be as good as it has been I’m sure that seaside view the ground has on a mild summer’s night will no doubt make it an enjoyable one for everyone watching.

Enjoy the game

  FA VASE 2 nd Qualifying Round MATCH GOALS CLICK HERE 21 st September 2024 Jarrow 2-2 Seaham Karim (34), Farrier (92) | Fletcher (35), Lawson (56)   The first chance came when Mo chased down a ball that made its way back to the keeper but he managed to get a toe on it that went across goal, Johnston just unable to knock it in at the back post.   On 15 minutes Seaham forced 3 successive corners with 2 defected shots going narrowly wide before Jarrow cleared the danger.   Seaham then tested Jak in goal but yet again their shot was deflected behind, this time from a beautifully curled right footed free kick by James Robinson.   A Karl long throw was then nodded goal wards by Ions on 28 minutes, but the scrambling back keeper managed to comfortably claim the ball.   Just a minute later and a wicked in swinging cross was met by Rutherford at the back post but his header bounced harmlessly wide.   On 34 minutes Ions won a free kick mid way into the Seaham half.

Historical Lookback – Football Pioneers, Mary Lyons Palmers Jarrow

Historical Lookback – Football Pioneers Often when we look through history the pioneers of certain aspects of our daily life that we take for granted were fought for and built by men. While there is no denying the truth of men shaping history, what we read often neglects to mention the role that women have played in those events. Indeed, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that my Great, great, great, great Grandmother Suzanna not only served in the British Army during the 1850’s but also was present in the field during the Crimean War and miraculously gave birth to a daughter Harriet Alma in 1855 who they named after the famous battle of the year before. When it comes to football however, I came across a story about a Jarrow lass who not only played for England but also scored and became the youngest ever goal scorer for her country, a record that still stands today and covers both the men’s and women’s teams. The Palmer’s Munitionettes were a Women’s team formed from the temp
