NORTHUMBERLAND SENIOR CUP 2ND ROUND REPLAY Tuesday 20th November 2012
Good evening and welcome to Hillheads Park for tonight’s Northumberland Senior Cup Replay against Blyth Spartans. I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all Blyth players, officials and supporters. I hope they enjoy their evening with us. Last Tuesday’s game at Croft Park ended in a goalless draw but it was far from the dull game that the score might suggest. Both sides created chances in what was a thoroughly entertaining encounter in front of a good size crowd. Let’s hope for plenty of excitement again tonight and remember, the game must produce a winner this evening, even if the tie has to be decided by the dreaded penalties! Local derbies always create extra excitement for the fans and with several of tonight’s players having played for both sides over the years, it is a game that both teams will be particularly keen to win. Saturday’s FA Vase game against Jarrow Roofing was not a classic but we got the all important win to get our campaign underway. At this stage of the competition in previous seasons we have had to grind out victories against the likes of Abbey Hey, Alsager and Thackley before producing top quality performances in the later rounds. After tonight’s game, we travel to Consett on Saturday before returning to Hillheads for what will be a very tough game against league champions Spennymoor Town next Tuesday evening.

The goal was no more than Whitley deserved but despite controlling the game and creating more chances, notably for Davis and Robinson, they could not add to their lead before the interval. Six minutes into the second half, Whitley should have got a second and possibly decisive goal when Fawcett raced away down the right wing and Man of the match Brad Brooking crossed the ball perfectly for Davis, who mis-hit his x117393_WBFC_p1_dw_x117393_WBFC_p1_dw 19/11/2012 14:02 Page 5

Jarrow were looking livelier in the second half and seeing Whitley waste chances to finish the game off they must have thought they were in with a real chance. In an effort to liven up the team, Ian Chandler brought on Kerr in place of Fairley, who was not proving nearly as effective as in the midweek game at Blyth. Ten minutes into the half, Jarrow keeper Jonathan Carmichael makes the save Brooking burst through down the right wing and resolve they were to be disappointed.

While obviously disappointed with the team’s If Whitley thought that goal would break Jarrow’s performance, Ian Chandler was at least happy with the result on a day when only five other Northern League sides made it through to the 3rd Round. Jarrow though deserve credit for their second half display, when they made it difficult for Whitley, who will need to step up a gear for tonight’s game.
