Match Preview

Newcastle Uni vs Jarrow FC (Saturday 7th August 2021 Northern League Division 2)

 

On Saturday we travel 18 miles West across the country to the town of Prudhoe for another visit to play Newcastle University FC at a ground that they share with former Northern League side Prudhoe Town FC. Our last visit to Kimberley Park ended in defeat as we lost 2-1 in a closely fought encounter.

Newcastle University first found themselves playing competitively in the Northern Alliance League back in 1976 and in the 30 years that proceeded that inception they have floated between the first and second divisions, even sometimes dropping out of the League altogether. That potted history however was about to change in 2018 when they managed to be promoted to the Northern League Division 2 and all the hard work had finally paid off.

This will be Newcastle Uni’s third season in the Northern League and will be hoping that its third time lucky so that they can actually finish a league campaign after the previous two were cut short by well documented reasons.  When the two seasons were ended Newcastle Uni had achieved 13th & 11th positions respectively and therefore showing some good progression despite not fulfilling all their fixtures. Indeed, on a chastening night back in October of last year the Uni ran riot at Perth Green and delivered a 4-2 beating of Jarrow for the Blue & White army to endure proving how good they can be on their day.

Saturday will no doubt prove another tough test after Newcastle started this season well with an away win at Chester-Le-Street scoring 4 goals in the process.

Look forward to seeing the Blue & White army at our first League game on the road this season!

Enjoy the game

  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
