Northern League Division Two Jarrow FC 2-3 Newcastle Blue Star 29-07-2023 – 3pm Kick Off McFarlane (3 own goal), Morrison (19) | Lanning (9, 62), Lovett (26 own goal) In front of a massive opening day crowd Newcastle Blue Star twice came from behind to beat a rejuvenated Jarrow at Perth Green on a glorious Saturday afternoon. With no less than 8 new players starting for the home side it was one of those new signings Joe Hunter who almost opened the scoring after nicking the ball from the centre half but firing his left foot shot wide. A Daryl Donnelly foul on Abu then gave Jarrow the chance to swing the ball in the box. Left footed Karl Morrison swung over the free kick and unfortunately for McFarlane he could only direct his clearing header to the far post which beat the keeper. Jarrow 1-0 up after 3 minutes. The lead however only lasted 6 minutes in a pulsating opening half. A left foot cross was cut out but fell to Lanning who lashed home the equaliser. Just 10 minute
