Jarrow FC

  FA Durham Challenge Cup 3rd Round    21-04-2021   Jarrow FC 1-3 Billingham Synthonia   25’ North | 1’, 6’ Howes, 16’ Ferguson   For the second time in 8 days a side from Billingham took to the field at Perth Green in Jarrow for a Durham cup match. This time however the visitors were victorious dumping the home side out of the competition and ultimately ending the Marchers season. It couldn’t have started any worse for Jarrow with a first minute corner being swung over and after a few players rose for the ball the referee blew his whistle for a handball and penalty that looked extremely harsh in real time and more so after watching the replay. The resulting pen was dispatched however and made the score line 1-0 to the Synners. Jarrow didn’t allow their heads to drop and went in search of an immediate response but a mixture of good defending and poor execution of the final ball contrived to keep them at bay. The second goal if not conten...

FA Durham Challenge Cup 2nd Round  15-04-2021 Jarrow FC (P) 2-2 Billingham Town 55’, 60’ Cal Smith | 82’, 90’ Bruton (Frazer sent off 53’) On a night with clear skies and a golden sun it was the home side who prevailed in yet another set of penalties that ultimately settled this entertaining Durham Cup game. The early exchanges between the two sides were fairly innocuous and it remained that way for most of the first half. Billingham Town in fact controlling most of the ball without really threatening Steve Hubery’s goal. While Billingham tried to play through midfield to the forwards Jarrow’s lack of possession led them to be more direct in their approach and the main target was Channon North who won his fair share of headers and held the ball up well looking for team mates in the process.  Fortunately for Jarrow on this occasion the referee was in no mood for what he saw as infringements and any sloppy play from the visitors was at times harshly punished and gave the home si...

  Northern League Friendly 06/04/2021 – 7pm Kick Off Sunderland RCA 0 - 0 Jarrow FC Tuesday night saw the resumption of Northern League football post national lockdown part 2 as Jarrow featuring 2 trialists and new face Andy Bowie visited Division 1 outfit Sunderland RCA in a behind closed doors friendly. In a game of very few clear cut chances it was the away side who started the brighter by trying to take advantage of both sides obvious lockdown hangover as Channon North latched on to the ball before firing wide. Almost instantly after that chance the game settled into the pattern that would see out the remainder of the first half. Jarrow sat deep and pressed hard and quickly when the opportunity arose as RCA began trying to get their passing game going through lots of possession. Indeed within a few minutes RCA had created two chances. The first of those being a snap shot that ended up going wide and the second was where they managed to force a sharp save from Keeper Ja...

  FA Durham Challenge Cup 1 st Round 16-12-2020 Jarrow FC 7-2 Gateshead   49’ 50’ 74’ Lennox, 57’ Mellish, 69’ Allen (Pen), 80’ Shaw, 88’ Murray | 7’ Thomas, 32’ Carson                                                  In a game that looked massively in doubt a few hours prior Jarrow came from behind to beat a youthful Gateshead side. Non stop rain had fell on South Tyneside for almost 24 hours yet the pitch staff at Perth Green managed to prepare a surface that was in better shape than that of the Premier League encounter at Ellend road in Leeds on the same night. It was Gateshead who drew first blood in a first half littered with chances for both sides. Eddie Thomas latched onto a through ball and slotted home past Hubery in the Jarrow goal to make it 1-0 to the visitors. The early goal helped to settle the visitors into a rhythm and with...

  FA Vase 2nd Round Proper 12-12-2020 Jarrow FC (4)1-1(5) Warrington Rylands 1906 (Warrington win 5-4 on pens) 96’ Mellish | 49’ Doyle   JARROW GOAL HERE!! 9th tier Warrington defeated their 10 th tier counterparts Jarrow in a fiercely contested FA Vase 2 nd round game. With Warrington top of the North West counties Premier and Jarrow near the bottom of the Northern League division 2 the form book was firmly with the side from the North West but Jarrow, having knocked out higher tier opposition in the last round wouldn’t be knocked out without a fight. As Warrington were unbeaten in their respective League, Jarrow set themselves up to contain the away teams attacking threat in the first half but struggled at times to stop Warrington’s midfield from breaking through. An over worked Jarrow backline however, defended superbly to keep the visitors at bay. In the first of a series of half chances Nick Little managed to turn the ball behind after a blocked shot on th...

  Match Preview Jarrow v Warrington Rylands - Saturday 12 th December 2020 Warrington Rylands 1906 currently ply their trade in the North West Counties League Premier Division. For Jarrow supporters they will know two teams from the two split divisions below that. Steeton & Vauxhall Motors who we have played in the last two seasons and are in the North & South divisions respectively. They currently sit top of that division with an impressive 4 wins from 5 and are unbeaten, along with having played two fewer games than some of their closest rivals in the division. The Rylands recently received a massive boost to the club in the form of Wayne Rooney’s agent Paul Stretford who took over as Chairman and owner. They seem to have South Shields style ideas of grandeur and almost achieved the first phase of that ideal last season before covid cut their promotion push into the Northern Premier short. They were sitting second with every chance of promotion until the pandemic...

  Match Preview - Redcar Athletic   Wednesday night we travel to Teesside to face Redcar Athletic in what could be the last game any of us see for at least 4 weeks. Like Jarrow in their current guise Redcar are a relatively young club having been formed in 1993 yet the club have had incredible success in that time progressing through the Teesside league then into the Wearside League before being promoted to the Northern League for the first time in their history only 2 years ago. In their first season in Division Two they managed an incredible 7th place finish, playing a brand of uncompromising but good football. They are an incredibly progressive club as evidenced by their rise through the leagues but also the way they do things off the field. The club house is always very welcoming and with local brewers providing a selection of fresh local beer it adds a special tinge of character when visiting. As I said earlier, they are a progressive club and weren’t happy with...
