Newcastle Uni 2-1 Jarrow

On a fine October day Jarrow travelled to Prudhoe to face Newcastle Uni and ultimately fell short again as they look to kick start their difficult start to the season.

 

A scrappy opening to the game saw both defences very much on top with little or no goal mouth action until 10 minutes in when the Uni winger hit a speculative drive that Pickering did well to guide round the post for a corner.

 

After 17 minutes Salim had Jarrow’s first shot on goal when he cleverly beat his man and hit a left foot shot that the keeper managed to palm away to safety.

 

With 22 gone Uni should’ve opened the scoring. Some nice passing saw the Uni forward find himself one on one with Pickering. The shot looked good but Pickering somehow managed to throw out a right hand and stop the shot dead. Great goalkeeping to keep the score level.

 

Jarrow didn’t heed the warning of that chance however and then gifted Uni the opening goal. The midfielder was afforded too much space and ran through the heart of the Jarrow team before slotting the ball through to unmarked Tom Romano who made no mistake with his finish leaving Pickering no chance in goal.

 

With 3 minutes remaining of the half Channon turned sharply and struck a shot across the keeper but he managed to palm it away and into the path of Liam Mulvain who acrobatically tried to volley the ball towards goal but that shot was blocked and it ran to Nick Little on the edge of the box who side footed a shot again towards goal and this time the ball was brilliantly deflected over the bar by Uni. 1-0 at half time but it was very close to being all square.

 

Into the second half and Jarrow almost had a fortunate equiliser as the defender cleared the ball directly onto the on coming Channon North who stuck out a foot and the ball rolled just wide of the left post.

 

Uni then scored the killer goal after an hours play when substitute Osiyemi scored. The tall striker would later be lucky to stay on the pitch after elbowing Liam Mulvain in the face.

 

Just 3 minutes later however Jarrow reduced the deficit when Davey Smith who had been doing great things down the right-hand side sent his full back the wrong way and crossed perfectly into the middle where brother Callum was waiting to rise and nod the ball home.

 

In the closing stages of the game Uni almost scored a third that would’ve been harsh on Jarrow but Pickering once again got down well and parried the ball to safety from a point-blank range shot.

 

Despite plenty of possession and a succession of corners after the goal Jarrow were unable to fashion anything clear cut and credit to the Uni who defended very well to limit the away sides forays into the box.

 

Evan Whittle was named Man of the match for an excellent display in the middle of park. Evan particularly impressed in the second with a battling performance. Next up 2 crucial home games.
