Jarrow v Yorkshire Amateur Saturday 31st October 2020

 

Yorkshire Amateur are the latest side that will visit Perth Green In this seasons FA Vase campaign. Its 12 months and a few weeks since Jarrow bowed out of last years competition reaching the 1st round proper for the first time in the club’s history. This season they will be looking to go one better if they can over come a side flying high in the tier above.

The Ammers hail from Leeds and play their football in the Northern Counties East League which is the equivalent to our Northern League Division One. The Leeds team have already visited the north East once this season losing on Penalties to Crook Town in the FA cup in a mid-week fixture so they will be looking for revenge as the make the trip up the A1.

Yorkshire Amateur were formed in 1918 and have enjoyed FA cup success reaching the 1st Round proper on two occasions.  Both times losing to third division opponents in Carlisle & Lincoln City respectively.

The Ammers original home was that of their illustrious neighbours Leeds United at Ellend Road. After Leeds City folded the Amateur moved in until they themselves moved to their home ever since Bracken Edge in 1922. Leeds United bought the lease on Ellend Road for £250 in 1922 and the rest as they say is history.

Yorkshire Amateur for all of there non league status actually boast a full international footballer.  Bradford born Tabish Hussain was on loan at the club last year and has appeared for his country Pakistan on a few occasions in particular coming on as a substitute in a world cup qualifying match.

Perhaps Yorkshire Amateurs finest exports are Jackie Overfield & Gary Strodder. Jackie went on to play over 150 times for Leeds United before joining our north east friends Sunderland in 1960 where he played a further 60 games. Strodder would play over 500 league games for various sides including West Brom, West Ham & Hartlepool United.

Saturday will certainly be Jarrow’s biggest test of the season and perhaps biggest game ever. It should prove to be a great occasion whatever the result and hopefully everyone stays safe.

Please enjoy yourself and arrive to avoid disappoint.

Cheers

  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
