Match Preview

Jarrow v Warrington Rylands - Saturday 12th December 2020

Warrington Rylands 1906 currently ply their trade in the North West Counties League Premier Division. For Jarrow supporters they will know two teams from the two split divisions below that. Steeton & Vauxhall Motors who we have played in the last two seasons and are in the North & South divisions respectively.

They currently sit top of that division with an impressive 4 wins from 5 and are unbeaten, along with having played two fewer games than some of their closest rivals in the division.

The Rylands recently received a massive boost to the club in the form of Wayne Rooney’s agent Paul Stretford who took over as Chairman and owner. They seem to have South Shields style ideas of grandeur and almost achieved the first phase of that ideal last season before covid cut their promotion push into the Northern Premier short. They were sitting second with every chance of promotion until the pandemic cancelled the season. Stretford incidentally played for the club during the 70’s.

They seem to pose a much bigger threat than any other side Jarrow have possibly ever played before in a competitive match and certainly the occasion is the biggest of the new club’s history.

Jarrow go into the game on the back of defeat away at Redcar Athletic but after much improved performances will be hoping to give a good account of themselves yet again in this competition against higher tier opposition. When I say higher tier, I of course mean English League tier, not this new tier system they are using to lockdown certain areas of the country.

Warrington have already showed their cup prowess this season losing by a single goal to 6th Tier York City in the FA Cup qualifying round 2. York City will also be very close to the promotion places in the Conference north, losing by the odd goal against opposition 2 league above is certainly not a thing to be ashamed of.

At the time of writing this a letter from the FA had shone a positive light on the re-introduction of supporters to Covid Tier 3 areas of the country in non-league games involving Step 6 clubs. With any luck we will receive confirmation before it’s too late so that supporters can indeed be a part of the occasion and cheer the lads on to an unlikely but not impossible victory against a top Warrington side.

Hopefully see you all there Saturday!

  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
