Match Preview Boldon CA v Jarrow (24-08-2021)

 Match Preview Boldon CA

 


On Tuesday evening Jarrow travel the short distance across the train tracks to visit newly promoted Wearside league neighbours Boldon CA.

Boldon have enjoyed a promising start to life in the Northern League having been unbeaten in 5 games until they narrowly lost to much fancied for promotion Billingham Synthonia 3-2 on Saturday. Billingham also lead the way in division 2 and it will have been good learning curve for the men from South Tyneside who had scored 19 goals in 5 games before the game at Norton sports complex. 10 of those goals coming in the 10-0 mauling of Durham City in their first ever Northern League home game.

Historically Boldon were one of the founder members of the Wearside league way back in 1892, the same year ironically that the two Newcastle sides East & West merged to form ‘United’. For the past 15 seasons Boldon have kept a relatively steady mid to high placed finish from their league campaigns until last season’s Covid-19 hit division when they were romping the division having won 13 out of 14 games scoring 61 goals in the process and only conceding 16. That was enough to make up the mind of the Northern League committee and after a successful appeal they were promoted, it was just reward for their absolute dominance of the division. 

Tomorrow will be the first South Tyne derby between the sides since the 2016/17 Wearside League season. Due to Boldon’s start to the campaign and after Jarrow’s big away win on Saturday this one will be the most eagerly awaited meeting between the two sides of all time.

It should certainly be a cracking game, and I’m sure the atmosphere will be excellent too with the travelling Blue & White army continuing to give the lads their full support.

  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
