  FA Durham Challenge Cup 3rd Round    21-04-2021   Jarrow FC 1-3 Billingham Synthonia   25’ North | 1’, 6’ Howes, 16’ Ferguson   For the second time in 8 days a side from Billingham took to the field at Perth Green in Jarrow for a Durham cup match. This time however the visitors were victorious dumping the home side out of the competition and ultimately ending the Marchers season. It couldn’t have started any worse for Jarrow with a first minute corner being swung over and after a few players rose for the ball the referee blew his whistle for a handball and penalty that looked extremely harsh in real time and more so after watching the replay.

FA Durham Challenge Cup 2nd Round  15-04-2021 Jarrow FC (P) 2-2 Billingham Town 55’, 60’ Cal Smith | 82’, 90’ Bruton (Frazer sent off 53’) On a night with clear skies and a golden sun it was the home side who prevailed in yet another set of penalties that ultimately settled this entertaining Durham Cup game. The early exchanges between the two sides were fairly innocuous and it remained that way for most of the first half. Billingham Town in fact controlling most of the ball without really threatening Steve Hubery’s goal.

In a game of very few clear cut chances it was the away side who started the brighter by trying to take advantage of both sides obvious lockdown hangover as Channon North latched on to the ball before firing wide. Almost instantly after that chance the game settled into the pattern that would see out the remainder of the first half. Jarrow sat deep and pressed hard and quickly when the opportunity arose as RCA began trying to get their passing game going through lots of possession. Indeed within a few minutes RCA had created two chances. The first of those being a snap shot that ended up going wide and the second was where they managed to force a sharp save from Keeper Ja...
