Newcastle Uni 2-2 Jarrow FC

20’ Waller (OG), 45’ Coates | 28’, 56’ North

 


On Saturday Jarrow travelled to Prudhoe to face the tough challenge of Newcastle Uni at Kimberly Park, having lost 2-1 on our only other Northern League visit their two seasons ago.

In what proved to be an ultimately scrappy affair it was Jarrow who had the first notable chance of the game with the brilliant Gary Shaw hitting the post after being played in behind by Jason Blackburn and turning away from his marker along the touchline.

The ball was continually given away by both sides and on 20 minutes Newcastle won a corner, the ball was then curled into the box and bounced before it entered the 6-yard area, causing confusion amongst the Jarrow defence and in trying to stop the ball from getting to the Uni forward Jackson Waller inadvertently turned the ball into his own net for the opening goal. If he hadn’t went for it however Newcastle would’ve had a tap in. 1-0.

Jarrow for all their sloppy possession were still trying to play football and Liam Murray raced clear and saw his right foot drilled shot come back off the post. Almost immediately after that chance it was Channon’s turn to fire the ball towards the Uni goal and this time for the visitors the post didn’t get in the way. 1-1.

The remaining minutes of the first half went past without many incidents mainly due to good defending but Jackson Waller and Kris Allen in the middle of the park for Jarrow controlled the tempo and the former was pinging balls left, right and centre attempting to make things happen.

On the stroke of half time however Jarrow lost concentration and for the second time Newcastle Uni took the lead. A poor ball was intercepted and Uni broke quickly, an inside ball being picked up by Coates who advanced towards goal unchallenged before slotting the ball past Jak Wells in the Jarrow goal. 2-1 half time.



Into the second and Jarrow continued to press for an equaliser that they felt they had a chance of grabbing.

7 minutes in and after a fantastic leap from Channon he managed to nod the ball onto Jason Blackburn who neatly lifted the ball over the keeper, as he chased the loose ball the Uni defender got his body in between the goal and the ball and as he nodded it clear Blackburn with eyes on the ball tried to hook it goalward. An awful smacking noise followed and unfortunately for the defender he had received a boot to the face for his trouble. It was a great piece of defending and the ball was cleared to safety. For Jason’s part in the incident, he was given a second yellow card for dangerous play. Thankfully the Uni defender was able to carry on but Jarrow were now down to 10 men.

Spurred on by the sending off Jarrow grew in confidence and a sublime left footed cross was met by the leaping head of Channon North who nodded the ball over the advancing goal keeper to square the game once again for Jarrow. 2-2.

Neither side could manage to add to the scoring in the 30 minutes that followed but Jak Wells did make a few good saves, notably from a close-range free kick that was turned round the post.

A draw in the end was a fair result as neither side deserved to win or lose and both in truth had good chances that weren’t taken. Not a bad-tempered game that was marred by a sending off but as previously mentioned it was good to see no one seriously hurt.

Jackson Waller was awarded the man of the match mainly for his first half display and being the one player trying to make things happen in the opponent’s half. Other notable performances were from the tremendous North who won almost everything he went for, the tireless Kris Allen in midfield who never stopped running and broke up many attacks and also for Gary Shaw who is a constant threat and also covers his full back for 90 minutes.

It may have been a disappointing performance but an away point is always gratefully received and we look to take a bit of confidence into Tuesday nights game away at the classy Tow Law.

  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
