Durham City 0-4 Jarrow (20/02/2022 – 7.30pm Kick Off)

Northern League Division Two


Durham City 0-4 Jarrow


20/02/2022 – 7.30pm Kick Off

 

No Scorer | Shaw (2, 31) Mulvain (15) Reed (90)




 

The game that had lingered since about mid September was finally played on a bitterly cold March evening at Willington.

 

Jarrow got themselves underway quickly when a Gary Shaw corner dipped over the head of the keeper and nestled itself in the back of the net after just two minutes.

 

The second came curtesy of another Shaw assist this time as his cross wasn’t dealt with by the keeper and Liam Mulvain was on hand to tap in the ball for his first Jarrow goal.

 

Jarrow were then relentless in their pressure after the second goal. A series of efforts on goal followed, one of which rattled the post before a lovely ball over the top by Brian Johnson split the defence open and Channon was able to deftly nod the ball into the path of Shaw who composed as ever checked back onto his left foot and slotted the ball home into the right hand corner of the net.

 

After the initial excitement of the first half an hour the game then lulled and both sets of players dropped their intensity as the game looked pretty much over and done with. Half time 3-0 to the visitors and very comfortable.

 

The second half followed in the same vein as the first had with Jarrow pressure but there was a noticeable drop in tempo from the Marchers. A lovely ball over the top again from Johnson released North however and as Channon jinked his way towards goal a well-timed challenge thwarted the 23 goal striker and another corner was awarded.

 

In truth however as Jarrow pressed down the left-hand side the playing surface was a factor yet again. A bobbly pitch wasn’t helping the lad’s control and many passes were lost due to that. Durham too were struggling to control the football.

 

As Jarrow’s frustration grew the home side grew into the game. With more meaningful possession they were unlucky not to create better chances as most crosses they attempted were either cut out or misdirected.

 

Jarrow seemed like they had settled for 3 goals as they counteracted Durham’s possession with more of their own, they kept the ball nicely across the midfield and defence and allowed Gary Shaw & Cody Bell the freedom of the business end of the pitch. Both were chasing hard and running with the ball whenever they were played in.

 

Then came the highlight of the evening. With Jordan Reed’s introduction an extra attacking threat was on show and Into injury time Reed hassled the defender and after picking his pocket a few feet inside the Durham half casually looked up, steadied himself and drove a left foot shot aerially towards goal that lobbed the keeper and nestled soundly in the bottom corner of the net after only one bounce!

 

Cody Bell won the MOTM with a display full of endeavour and drive during a fairly comfortable match for the lads.

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...
