On a cold but pleasant afternoon in County Durham Jarrow used their powers of bouncebackability to produce another fine away display and take all 3 points from a top Brandon side.

 

The game started slowly with the away side settling the quickest but when Brandon took over control the visitors had Curtis Richardson to thank for keeping the scores level. A wicked inswinging cross was met by the diving head of former Jarrow man Kobe Bewicke and Curtis managed to acrobatically tip the ball over the bar.

 

On 23 minutes and Richardson was at it again. A corner swung in and powerfully met by the head of a Brandon player was once again tipped majestically over the bar by the Jarrow stopper.

 

Just over 10 minutes later and Brandon were within a whisker of taking the lead when the ball fell kindly to the pacey number 11 Lake whose snap shot from the angle of the 18 yard box flew agonisingly wide of the far post.

 

Into the second half and within minutes of the restart Jarrow made there intentions abundantly clear as Nick Little rolled the ball into the path of Mully who upon taking a good first touch unleashed a piledriver that stung the finger tips of Skelton in the Brandon goal. The resultant corner was swung in by top goal scorer Abu and although partially cleared it fell nicely to Alex Berhan who hit the ball on the half volley. Thankfully for the travelling blue and white army the shot missed a host of bodies on its way into the back of the net. Delight for Alex scoring his first goal for Jarrow in 16 appearances.

 

Just 5 minutes later a Myles Hubbard ball forward was controlled by Mully and the tall striker hooked a pass over his shoulder for strike partner Abu to chase. Abu brought the ball under control and after out muscling the defender slotted the ball cooly into the back of the net for his 12th goal in all competitions.

 

Brandon, who had played so well in the first period now found themselves two nil down and struggling to get possession of the football as Jarrow poured forward and tried to kill the game.

 

After a Mully free kick was then blocked as far as Abu, the forward waited for the defender to approach him and he shifted it cleverly onto his left foot and drove goal wards, a poked effort at goal was then brilliantly turned over by Skelton in goal to keep the score at 0-2.

 

With 15 minutes remaining Jarrow did score a third and ultimately the killer goal in this game. Abu chased another ball and again drove towards goal, this time the lively forward tried to round the keeper but Skelton did brilliantly and got a hand to the ball to take it away from Abu. Unluckily for Skelton however the ball rolled kindly for Evan Whittle who capped a fine performance with a well-executed drive into the roof of the net to give the visitors an unassailable three goal advantage.  

 

Jarrow managed the game brilliantly from that moment on and there were no further alarms despite a few shots that sailed over Curtis’s bar. Jarrow did keep probing but didn’t add to their tally. On a day when literally anyone could’ve won the Man of the Match award it finally went to Evan Whittle for the 2nd game in a row for another powerful and skilful midfield performance.

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
