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 minutes later and Morrison played the ball over the top to Abu who tried to turn Donnelly on the edge of the box, As Abu was about to shoot with only the keeper to beat, he was fouled. Morrison then stepped up and side footed the free kick into the back of the net to retake the lead.

Again, the lead didn’t last long. A forward ball to a player coming back from an offside position wasn’t spotted by the linesman and as the play continued another left footed cross was this time turned into the back of his net back the unfortunate Alex Lovatt to make it 2-2.

There was a penalty shout when Karim was bundled over in the box, but the referee didn’t seem interested, Karim was the target of many late challenges throughout the afternoon.

Into the second half and the lively Abu cut in from the right after beating two men but could only blast his shot over the bar.

With half an hour to go Daryl Donnelly’s return to Jarrow ended with a second yellow card as he fouled Karim on the right-hand side.

Instead of grabbing the initiative Jarrow allowed Blue Star to nip in and score the winner just 2 minutes later. With an injury to Dan Ord the defence wasn’t fully aware, and Lanning managed to steal in and round keeper Jak Wells.

Despite Jarrow having a lot of the ball in the final 25 minutes they were unable to fashion any clear-cut chances. An Owen Mitchell volley from outside the box was the closest they came to snatching what would’ve probably been a deserved point.

A magnificent crowd for the first game and most people left in good spirits at the way that both sides had gone about their business in an extremely good football match.

Kian Parker received the MOTM for a tireless performance in midfield.

  FA VASE 2 nd Qualifying Round MATCH GOALS CLICK HERE 21 st September 2024 Jarrow 2-2 Seaham Karim (34), Farrier (92) | Fletcher (35), Lawson (56)   The first chance came when Mo chased down a ball that made its way back to the keeper but he managed to get a toe on it that went across goal, Johnston just unable to knock it in at the back post.   On 15 minutes Seaham forced 3 successive corners with 2 defected shots going narrowly wide before Jarrow cleared the danger.   Seaham then tested Jak in goal but yet again their shot was deflected behind, this time from a beautifully curled right footed free kick by James Robinson.   A Karl long throw was then nodded goal wards by Ions on 28 minutes, but the scrambling back keeper managed to comfortably claim the ball.   Just a minute later and a wicked in swinging cross was met by Rutherford at the back post but his header bounced harmlessly wide.   On 34 minutes Ions won a free kick mid way into the Seaham half.

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
