Match Preview - Redcar Athletic

 


Match Preview - Redcar Athletic

 

Wednesday night we travel to Teesside to face Redcar Athletic in what could be the last game any of us see for at least 4 weeks.

Like Jarrow in their current guise Redcar are a relatively young club having been formed in 1993 yet the club have had incredible success in that time progressing through the Teesside league then into the Wearside League before being promoted to the Northern League for the first time in their history only 2 years ago.

In their first season in Division Two they managed an incredible 7th place finish, playing a brand of uncompromising but good football. They are an incredibly progressive club as evidenced by their rise through the leagues but also the way they do things off the field. The club house is always very welcoming and with local brewers providing a selection of fresh local beer it adds a special tinge of character when visiting.

As I said earlier, they are a progressive club and weren’t happy with their 7th place finish. Last season when COVID cut the league short they were only behind West Allotment sitting in 2nd place and only trailing the leaders by 3 points. 

Redcar have had a fairly indifferent start to this season however as they look to build on last season. 4 wins from 10 games with 3 draws and 3 defeats doesn’t rule them out but they will know they can improve.

Jarrow are yet to defeat there Teesside opponents in the northern league years and have only managed one point from 3 games against them, losing both games quite convincingly away from home. There is no better time for the South Tynesiders to break that unwanted record after having dropped into the bottom 3 on Saturday after their heroic penalty win in the FA Vase.

Another tough fixture and almost certainly another great game of northern league football.

Safe journey down the A19 to all Jarrow supporters enjoy the game and respect the hosts guidelines.

  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
