Jarrow FC 4-1 Esh Winning

19/03/2022 – 3pm Kick Off

Mulvain (50, 59) North (86) Bell (90) | McMahon (33 pen)

 



 

Jarrow got back to winning ways at home against Esh Winning on Saturday after falling behind at half time in front of a healthy crowd at Perth Green that included a Stag Do from Penrith!

 

Jarrow almost got off to a flyer when a Luke Hudson ball over the top was controlled well by Glen Hargrave only for the forward to be pulled down as he advanced towards goal. A free kick and a yellow card were given, the last man debate was ringing around Perth Green.

 

Esh had the next chance of the game in a fairly subdued half but Steve Hubery showed great reflexes to save low down from a point blank range.

 

With both sides struggling to create any clear cut chances Liam Mulvain tried to get Jarrow going and had a few speculative efforts that went just over the bar.

 

On 31 minutes however the second contentious decision emerged. Some nice passing by the visitors resulted in the forward being able to get his cross in from the right-hand side and the ball hit the outstretched arm of Summers as he ran back to track him. The ref awarded the pen and apparently said at half that it was awarded for a pullback that seemed to be non-existent at the time or on replay. McMahon converted the pen but Steve was unlucky in goal, guessing the correct way was just unable to keep out a great pen.

 

A Lewis Leech through ball to Channon was snatched at by the forward just before half time and the keeper easily saved. The game was meandering along with Jarrow desperate for the half time whistle to regroup.

 

Jarrow indeed took the 15 minute break given for half time and fully utilised its importance. A long throw from Glen wasn’t dealt with by the defence and Liam Mulvain cooly slotted home his 2nd Jarrow goal to level things up.

 

Jarrow were by now turning the screw and a succession of corners were threatening the Esh goal. The keeper making a miraculous save from the knee of Channon after one of the corners had been knocked back out to Gary Shaw for another bite at the cherry with a wicked in-swinging cross.

 

On the stroke of the hour mark and Gary Shaw played a deep cross to the back post and there was that man Liam Mulvain once again on hand to apply the finish by nodding the ball goal wards. A quick second half turn around from the young side.

 

The home side were now comfortably the better side and after several pot shots that went wide a Brian Johnson free kick was met by the leaping head of Gary Shaw, not renowned for his head Shaw guided his header in the corner of the goal but the post came to the rescue for Esh and the score remained 2-1.

 

With 5 minutes remaining Liam Mulvain turned provider and slipped North in who looked slightly in an offside position when he received the ball. North kept his cool however and slotted home after rounding the keeper to make the 3 points safe.

 

With the game gone there was still time for the most special moment of the game as 17 year old Cody Bell grabbed his first ever goal in senior football, after receiving the ball from yet another Gary Shaw assist Cody tapped home, much to the delight of his manager & father Dave Bell and also the Jarrow supporters. A lovely moment shared by everyone in the ground.

 

MOTM went to Channon North who put in a memorable forward display full of quality hold up play as well as linking attacks with his midfield and showed great composure for his goal.
