Match Preview

 

Steeton AFC v Jarrow FC  (19/09/2020)

 

Steeton Association Football have been around for 115 years having been founded in 1905 and currently ply their trade in the North West Counties League Division One North, The same level as Jarrow’s last season’s FA Vase opponents Vauxhall Motors.


Despite hailing from West Yorkshire Steeton currently play their home games at Lancashire club Barnoldswick Towns ground. They had been ground sharing with Rugby League side Keighley Cougars but that ended in 2019. They now await their own ground being given the go ahead before they can move in.

3 Seasons ago when the North West counties League split into a Premier division with two sections below it, Steeton were added to the North Division where they managed a credible 15th position scoring 80 goals in just 38 games. Carlisle City incidentally leaving the League and joining Jarrow in the Northern league Division two.


Last year’s league was ultimately a disappointing one for Steeton and they were teetering in 19th place before the lock down and an end to football struck the country.


They will be looking to start this campaign strongly with the FA Vase game being there first competitive fixture since March.

Their ability to score goals seems clear, and should provide spectators with another great game as Jarrow have started the season in good form themselves. This will be Steeton’s first competitive fixture of the new season as their League doesn’t start until October.

Steeton play in full green Shirts, Shorts & Socks.

  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
