FA Vase Winners: 2002, 2009, 2010, 2011 WHITLEY BAY FC BW3 Welcome to Hillheads WHITLEY BAY v Team Northumbria Sage Northumberland Senior Cup 2nd Round Tuesday 22nd November 2011
Good evening and welcome to Hillheads Park for tonight’s Sage Northumberland Senior Cup 2nd Round game against Team Northumbria. I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all players, officials and supporters of Team Northumbria and I hope they enjoy their evening with us. This will be the first ever meeting of the sides and although Team Northumbria are a division below us, they are clear leaders of the table and on current form could well be joining us in the First Division next season. There are striking similarities with last year’s Northern League Cup tie when we played the then Second Division leaders Newton Aycliffe and were well beaten so there can be absolutely no room for complacency as we take on the Northern League’s top scoring side tonight. What a tremendous game we saw here at Hillheads on Saturday! After some disappointing displays of late, our performance was a joy to watch with every player contributing to the victory. Tadcaster were a good side but once Paul Robinson scored that spectacular goal the result was never in doubt. Playing his part and scoring on his return debut was Chris Fawcett who we are delighted to welcome back to Hillheads after a short spell at Ashington. As part of the deal that saw Chris return last week. Phil Bell rejoined the Colliers. We are sorry to see Phil go but we wish him well, and the same applies to Darren Timmons, a loyal servant to the Club over the past five years who has moved up the coast to Blyth. Should the score in tonight’s game be level after 90 minutes, extra time will be played and if there is still no winner, there will be a replay at Team Northumbria’s Coach Lane ground at a date to be decided. Our next game here at Hillheads is next Tuesday when we play Shildon but before then we travel to Bishop Auckland on Saturday. Paul McIlduff Chairman HOWAY THE BAY! Enjoy Today’s Game

Tadcaster’s leading scorer Carl Stewart was looking lively and had chances for the visitors but after wasting one opportunity with a wayward finish, Coulson and Anderson both denied him with good defending. The referee had started the game a few minutes early and when the second half also got underway slightly ahead of schedule, some fans were still queuing for their half time refreshments and missed one of the most spectacular goals seen at Paul Robinson celebrates his goal Hillheads for many years.

Robinson has become the master of the spectacular goal and this was one of his best. Not surprisingly the goal left Tadcaster stunned and barely five minutes later their task had become almost impossible when they conceded a third.

However, their efforts finally earned a consolation goal in the last minute of the game when their man of the match Nick Thompson was tripped inside the box by Robson and Tom Reid fired the penalty high into the top corner of the net. This was an excellent all round performance by Whitley with important contributions from every player. Their record breaking unbeaten run in the competition is now 27 games and on this form there is every chance that it will be extended further.

BW12 A brief history of Whitley Bay Football Club
1970’s The early 1970’s saw Bay’s successes continue with the League Cup being won in 1970/71, and the County Cup in 1970/71 and 1972/73. With the demise of amateur football the Club’s fortunes took a nosedive, culminating in them having to apply for re-election to the League in 1979/80. 1980’s In 1987/88, with fortunes rising, the club joined the Northern Premier League. In 1989/90 the Bay had their best ever run in the FA Cup, when they reached the 3rd Round, going down 1-0 at Rochdale, after a 1-0 win at then League side Scarborough, and in the 2nd Round defeating former winners Preston North End 2-0 in front of the BBC Match of the Day cameras. 1990’s The following season Whitley won not only the First Division Cup for the second time but also the Championship and promotion to the Premier Division. They finished in 11th spot in the 1993/94 season, their best position in the Premier Division. A decline in fortunes followed during the later 90’s and in 2000 Whitley were relegated back to the Northern League. 2000’s A new century marked the beginning of the most successful period in the club’s history as they rose to national prominence with record breaking achievements in the FA Vase. The 2001/02 season proved to be one of the most memorable in the clubs’ history when in only their second season in the competition and against all expectations they won the FA Vase at Villa Park, thanks to a spectacular Ian Chandler header in extra time against their Eastern League opponents Tiptree United.

Northern League First Division Joining Whitley in the next round are Ashington, Billingham Billingham Town v Guisborough Town Synthonia, Consett, Dunston UTS, Newcastle Benfield, Second Division Spennymoor Town and West Auckland Town. Whickham v Washington Bedlington Terriers, Billingham Town and Gillford Park were all beaten by sides from other leagues on what was overall a good Saturday day for the Northern League. First Division The most remarkable score came at the UTS Stadium where Ashington v Penrith Dunston beat Blackwell Miners Welfare 12-1. The East Midlands Bishop Auckland v Whitley Bay Counties League side from Alfreton in Derbyshire were totally outclassed with Andrew Bulford and Steve Goddard both Consett v Marske United scoring hat tricks for Dunston, who led 7-0 at the interval. Jarrow Roofing v Bedlington Terriers It was a much closer game across the Tyne at Sam Smiths Park Shildon v Newcastle Benfield where Newcastle Benfield needed a last minute goal from Brian South Shields v Dunston UTS Dodsworth to give them a 2-1 victory over Barton Town Old Spennymoor Town v Newton Aycliffe Boys from Humberside. Indeed the visitors went ahead just Stokesley SC v West Auckland Town after the interval but Benfield soon equalised through Lewis Sunderland RCA v Norton & Stockton Ancients Teasdale. Tow Law Town v Billingham Synthonia Ashington were also involved in a close game but this time Second Division against fellow Northern league opponents Norton & Stockton. A second half goal from Jonny Godsmark saw them through. Chester-le-Street Town v North Shields In the other all Northern League game, Billingham Synthonia Crook Town v Easington Colliery overcame Crook Town 2-0 the goals coming in the second half Darlington RA v Seaham Red Star from the two Danny’s – Wray and Earl. Esh Winning v Whitehaven Consett lost a two goal lead at home to Ramsbottom United Northallerton Town v Alnwick Town but rallied to go through 4-2, Michael Mackay scoring twice for Ryton & Crawcrook Albion v Hebburn Town the Steelmen. Team Northumbria v Brandon United Spennymoor eventually saw off Barnoldswick Town 5-0 in Thornaby v Morpeth Town Lancashire, but it took almost until half time for the Moors to West Allotment Celtic v Birtley Town break the deadlock. The second half was much more comfortable for the visitors as they stepped up a gear. League leaders West Auckland did not have it all their own way HALF TIME QUIZ at home to Bacup Borough. Both sides had a player sent off Which current Northern League clubs formerly carried these names? during the first half which ended all square at 1-1. Second half 1 Mechanics 2 Spartans goals from Stuart Banks and Micky Rae saw West eventually 3 Amateurs 4 Harriers safely through with a 3-1 victory. 5 Methodist Youth Club 6 United Services The major surprise of the round as far as local clubs were 7 Garden Farm 8 Church Institute concerned came at Rotherham where Parkgate came back from 9 Pineapple 10 Celtic 2-0 down to beat Bedlington Terriers 4-3. Two goals in the last five minutes put paid to the hopes of Billingham Town as visitors Glossop North End earned a 4-2 win. Our 2009 Vase FA Carlsberg Vase 3rd Round Final opponents looked to be in control when leading 2-0 at half time but goals from Jamie Owens and Micky Dunwell put Town back in contention until the closing stages. Second Division Gillford Park put up a good fight at Bridlington Whitley Bay v Town before going down by the only goal. Both sides had a man sent off in the closing stages. Of Whitley’s former Vase opponents, Herne Bay won 3-1 Bridlington Town against Winchester City while Long Buckby beat Dunstable 4-2. Boldmere St Michaels lost 2-0 at home to Peterborough North Star while Oadby Town, the only side ever to have beaten Saturday 3rd December Whitley in the Vase at Hillheads were 1-0 winners at home to St Andrews. x105359_WBFC_p1_rr_x105358_WBFC_p1_rr 21/11/2011 12:08 Page 23
