MATCH PREVIEW RYTON & CRAWCROOK ALBION

 


MATCH PREVIEW – RYTON & CRAWCROOK

 

Another Saturday, and another home game for Jarrow with this being their 4th in a row.

Both Ryton & Jarrow had relatively good seasons last year until Covid struck and indeed Jarrow have already beaten Ryton twice this calendar year doing the Division 2 double over RACA despite the latter being 3rd in the league at that time. That is in stark contrast to how things have faired this season with both sides languishing at the wrong end of the table and a win on Saturday would go a long way to turning their fortunes round.

Formed in 1970 The Albion boast a youth system akin to Jarrow’s ranging from 6 to the senior side.

Since 1970 RACA have had a steady rise through the divisions until attaining a place in the newly formed Northern Alliance league Division 1, then they achieved promotion to the Premier division in 1997 where they stayed for 7 seasons. 

After that they then managed to attain Northern League status by finishing 3rdand being promoted into the Northern League Division 2 where they have stayed ever since. Beating Jarrow to Northern League status by 11 years.

There have been memorable games between the sides in the years since Jarrow joined them in the Division including a thumping win for RACA at Perth Green when they scored twice direct from corners!

Every game in the Northern league is a tough one and Saturday will be no different but we welcome two new signings into the club who will be hoping to make an immediate impact. Peter Jones and Scott Wallace joined us late Wednesday evening and we are looking forward to seeing them in Blue & White.

Enjoy the game, and wear a mask!

  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
