Saturday 15/11/2008 Whickham 0 Jarrow Roofing 3 Roofing :- Adam Dowell; Wess Brown; Mark Laidler; Danny Carson: Andy Bowes (C);
Phil Graham; Eifion Williams; Kevin Davison; Craig Tate; Dave Graham: Scott Graham (Paul Greenwood); Subs not used Dean Goodwin;
Jonny Gibson;
JARROW Roofing got their promotion campaign back on track with a 3-0 victory at Whickham.
Having already put 11 goals past the opposition in two games this season, it was another comfortable victory for Richie McLoughlin's side, with three strikes before half-time killing the game off.
Roofing were never in any real trouble after they opened their account on 10 minutes when a Kevin Davison corner was met at the near post by David Graham, who hit a powerful sidefoot into the corner of the net.
It was 2-0 on 35 minutes when another great corner kick delivery from Davison saw Craig Tate volley home at the far post.
Whickham began to pile forward to try to rescue the game, but the two half-chances that they had were well dealt with by Adam Dowell.
And, as they pressed again, they were hit on the counter-attack as Graham played the ball through the middle for the pacy Davison, who raced from just inside his own half, and as the keeper advanced, drove a superb shot past him.
After the interval Whickham enjoyed the slope and the breeze to force a series of corners, but they could not penetrate the resolute Roofing defence, who held firm without conceding.
Saturday 8/11/2008 Jarrow Roofing 1 Esh Winning 3
Roofing :- Craig Shields; Ryan Dunn (Greenwell 69); Mark Laidler (Craig Fannon 85); Danny Carson; Andrew Bowes (C) ; Johnny Gibson (Scott Graham 46) ; Eiffon Williams; Phil Graham; Craig Tate; David Graham; Kevin Davison.
A GREAT attacking game for the neutrals wasn't enjoyed by Jarrow Roofing boss Richie McLoughlin.
His side's Northern League Division Two promotion hopes took another dent as they lost 2-1 at home to Esh Winning.
In the first period, Roofing just edged the half, forcing the Esh keeper Danny Molyneux into keeping out two one-on-ones, the first from Craig Tate who perhaps should have done better, and the second from debutant Davey Graham, who scuffed his shot.
At the other end Craig Shields saved a header from Michael Fort as the half ended goalless.
After the interval, Roofing's Kevin Davison headed against the post, while at the other end Shaun Gregory drove a rising shot over the bar.
Roofing got the breakthrough that they deserved on 75 minutes, however, when Graham headed past Molyneux from a corner kick for a goal on his debut.
Ryan Dunn and Mark Laidler, right and left wing-backs respectively, both had to be replaced by the Roofers in the closing 20 minutes of the game, and as a result Roofing lost some quality.
Esh grabbed an equaliser on 82 minutes when Craig Coates converted from close range in a goalmouth scramble.
And as the Roofers gave away the ball when in possession, Chris Smith was given too much time on the ball, and he rifled in an unstoppable shot that beat Shields from 20 yards for an injury-time winner.
Saturday 25th October 2008 Jarrow Roofing B.C.A. v Prudhoe Town
Tuesday 21st October 2008
JARROW Roofing's long trip to Whitehaven proved to be in vain as they went out of the Ernest Armstrong Memorial Trophy last night.
They lost 3-2 at the Northern League Division Two leaders, despite a brace of goals from striker Craig Tate.
Tate scored from the penalty spot after Kevin Davison was fouled, and then struck an excellent second goal from distance.
And as Roofing pressed for an equaliser to send the game into extra time, Tate went close to bagging a hat-trick, but struck the bar with another great effort.
Davison and debutant Anthony Lund also had chances, but Whitehaven went through to the next round courtesy of goals from Darren Donald, Barry Fowler and Gary Hewitt.
Roofing boss Richie McLoughlin said: "We played well, especially considering we were a few players short because of late cry-offs."
Saturday 18th October 2008
JARROW Roofing's hopes of bouncing back to the top flight of the Northern League at the first attempt suffered another blow at Washington on Saturday, as they went down to a 3-0 defeat.
Roofing had an early half-chance when Kevin Davison got sight of goal and shot just over the angle from 30 yards.
Davison then side-footed a cross from Chris Archer over the bar on seven minutes, but that was about as good as it got for Roofing, as the midfield failed to create anything and the defence panicked when under attack.
Former Roofer John Lydon went into a crunching tackle with stand-in keeper Martyn Jackson, and the ball spun away for Karl Pennington to tap in the opener for Washington, most Refs would have given Roofing a free-kick for a foul on the young keeper.
Roofing heads went down, and they found it difficult to get on terms before the break.
And within two minutes of the restart, Washington added to their score when yet another mistake when his marker was well ahead of play that gave Wyn Fremlon the simple task of playing the ball past the onrushing Jackson for Gary McCartney to make it 2-0.
Roofing were twice denied a potential lifeline when penalty claims were turned down, before Washington increased the lead on 78 minutes.
Lydon was again the provider when he raced to stop a long ball going over the byline, and with his marker standing watching he collected it with time to lay it in the path of McCartney, who gave young Jackson no chance in stopping it.
Tuesday 14th October Jarrow Roofing 3 Spennymoor 2. The Durham County F.A. Challenge Cup 1st round
Roofing:- Dowell; Carson; Catto; Graham P; Greenwell; Dixon; Gibson (Hall); Brown W (Dunn); Tate; Archer; Davison.
Roofing had a very productive evening, beating Northern League Division One side Spennymoor 3-2.
It was the second success this season over Moors, following on from a 2-1 FA Cup win in August, though Roofing had to come back from a goal down.
The visitors had already hit the woodwork before Graham Stobbs opened the scoring on 14 minutes, a corner on their left was punched out but struck a defender before dropping behind Stobbs who turned to shoot into the far side of the net.
Chris Archer went close to an equaliser before finally drawing his side level on 33 minutes, Archer cut across the box but with his path blocked he turned back to get behind the defence before turning his marker to score.
Within a minute the Roofers were ahead when Craig Tate wide on the left picked up a lovely through ball from Stu Dixon, Tate cut back a few yards to get a view of the target and then proceded to lift a clever lob over the Moors keeper Niki Lawson.
But the lead didn't last long, and when Phil Graham failed to clear from Craig Gott, the man he had left Chris Smith capitalised to strike a good equaliser before the interval.
The weather was absolutely atrocious but certainly not the football as both sides produced some grit coupled with determination in their football, long runs at each others defences were attractive to watch with the crowd enjoying every minute of it. The play was one way and then the other as players ran into brick walls to try to score before Roofing scored the only second half goal as both defences had been outstanding.
Roofers's winner came on 70 minutes, as Archer rose to head home from a corner, and although Spennymoor pressed for an equaliser, Tate and Archer could both have sewn up the result before the end when they were presented with some chances that should have added to the home side's total on the breakaway. The spectators thought that, but in conditions that were extraordinary they all did well to complete this extraordinary game.
Saturday 11th October Jarrow Roofing 0 Horden 2
Dowell, Carson, Catto, Graham, Bowes (C), Dixon, Hall (Fannon), Graydon, Tate, Archer, Gibson.
THERE was disappointment for Jarrow Roofing at the weekend as they went down 2-0 to a good Horden outfit in Division Two of the Northern League.
Craig Tate should have done better after great work by Chris Archer early on, and then Archer was denied by James Winter after being put through one-on-one with the goalkeeper by Keith Graydon.
Horden replied with two Craig Hubbard free-kicks that Adam Dowell did well to save, before another free-kick saw Ian Clark curl a left footer around the wall and just inside Dowell's right-hand post a minute before the interval.
Roofing – without the services of star forwards Eifion Williams and Kevin Davison – looked somewhat toothless in attack until the introduction of defender Craig Fannon, who was pushed up front.
His size began to bring some disarray into the Horden defence, and he was unlucky in two scrambles not to force in the equaliser.
Roofing continued to press forward in search of an equaliser, but were left exposed at the back, and with six minutes left Hubbard rifled a great shot over Dowell and in off the bar to send Horden third.
Tuesday 7th October Jarrow Roofing 1 North Shields 0
Dowell; W Brown; Catto; Fannon (Greenwell 80); Phil Graham; Graydon (S Graham 80); Gibson; Dixon; Archer; Tate; Davison.
Jarrow Roofing beat North Shields 1 - 0 with a 3rd minute strike from a Kevin Davison free-kick that he earned after being tripped outside the penalty area, his free kick into the top left hand corner left North Shields keeper David Lanning a spectator.
It should have been 2 - 0 on 15 minutes when Chris Archer did well to get in behind the defence on the right hand side and his superb cross to Craig Tate only needed a touch but Tate sidefoted the ball outside of the posts when well placed to score to the amazement of all the Roofing supporters..
Tate did go close two minutes later with a snap shot but in general by the break the game should have been all over if Roofing strikers had taken their chances. HT 1 - 0
After the break North Shields realised that the game was there for the taking, they piled on some pressure but without creating any real chances until both Scott McDonald and Paul Gibbs brought excellent saves from Adam Dowell, had Shields come at the Roofers in the first half as they did in the second half then the result may have been different.
North Shields created more chances in a 15 minute spell when the result was in doubt than they did for the whole of the first period. The Roofers were penned back and restricted to the occasional break but they were dangerous and Craig Tate headed a cross from the right against the post.
Both sides began to struggle for pace towards the last 15 minutes but Roofing just had the edge and when desperation got the better of North Shields defenders they were reduced to nine men. on 80 minutes Ian Dugdale apparently took a second Yellow and walked after a mass skirmish in the far corner of the field when most of the players from both sides ran the length of the pitch to get involved, in general it appeared that most were trying to pull one player off Kevin Davison who it appears was flattened by Ian Dugdale.
Then with five minutes left former Roofer Richard Latimer followed for another second yellow after a poor tackle. It wasn't Tates day as he failed to make a simple pass or two and when the crowd yelled at him his head went down and then he seemed to lose all direction as he tried too hard to get onto the scoresheet.
Had the game finished 5 - 0 then it would be fair to say that Roofing deserved it for their first half dominance but they were fortunate to get 3 points as North Shields did much better than they did before the interval.
On Saturday 20th September Jarrow Roofing hosted Whickham in a game that proved to be a breath of fresh air to Roofing followers.Team:- Hoggeth; Brown; Oliver; Davies; Paxton; Dixon (Graham); Jenkins(Tate); Catto; Williams; Archer (Gibson); Davison.It was weeks since The Roofers have played with such flair and it was this that killed off the visitors in the first 15 minutes. From the off the scene was set for a remarkable display that began when Chris Archer put in a solid foot to claim the ball in a tackle and play in Kevin Davison in one moment of magic, Davison then moved down the left before cutting inside to stroll past three defenders and crash a right foot shot back across keeper Peter Adnitt for the opener that was inside the first minute. The second came within another two minutes when again Archer played in Williams with a defence splitting 20 yard pass that saw Eiffon rifle the second giving Adnitt no chance. The Roofers were rampant and Whickham struggled to match their pace. On 15 minutes Stuart Dixon threaded a great pass through the left side of Whickhams defence and this time it was justice when Archer swept in the third. Whickham were never going to come back from this but on 25 minutes an unnecessary tackle on David Fairless who was going across the penalty area into a Roofing wall was tackled by Richard Paxton and the Whickham captain Paul Cavanagh reduced the arrears from the penalty spot. There had been two long injuries the first on Kevin Davison when Craig Cowell should have seen red but only a yellow was shown. The Whickham bench realised the severity of the tackle and substituted Cowell on 27 minutes. In time added on for these stoppages Williams slotted in his second to give Roofing a 4 - 1 interval lead.
Two minutes after the restart Williams beat the advancing Adnitt to complete his hat-trick then on 54 minutes Davison scored another great goal with a half volley from the edge of the box 10 yards from the bye line, the ball cleared Adnitt before dropping into the far side of the goal. Roofing eased off as the job was done but a substitution on 65 mins the third inside 25 minutes took a third player from the right hand side of the team and had the opposition been any stronger could have spelled disaster for Roofing as Whickham began to threaten more. The defence were overworked but they held firm to keep the scoreline to 6 - 1.
Saturday 13th September 2008 FA Vase extra preliminary Round Jarrow Roofing v Bishop Auckland Jarrow Roofing Gary Hoggeth; Wes Brown; Richie Paxton; Phil Graham (C); Andy Davies; Paul Catto;Alan Oliver (Johnny Gibson 52); Ryan Jenkins (Ryan Dunn 52); Eoiffon Williams; Chris Archer; Kevin Davison. The game started on a very soft surface and it was doubtful that it would get the go-ahead, Bishops had the ball in the net after just 6 minutes but it was obvious to all that it was several yards offside. Roofing should have got something after that when Williams raced down the right but was felled by Kevin Dixon a ploy that was to be played for much of the game on the other wing Kevin Davison had similar treatment from Lee Foster who was very lucky to see out the 90 minutes. The game began to get very physical but that should not detract from the sound goals that Bishops scored before the break. The opener on 20 minutes was an own goal when Phil Graham headed a cross from Gavin Parkin passed a stranded Gary Hoggeth who was having his first start of the season after an injury that kept him out for much of last season. On 35 minutes Parkin crossed for Gavin Barton to rig=fle past the stranded keeper. In first half injury time Amar Purewal cleverly beat his marker and crossed for Parkin to turn and find the far side of the net in one very clever move. 0 - 3 at the interval. The second half saw The Roofers create a bit more but it was all without any real bite. There were no cut and thrust as in previous games and it is fair to say that the long period of unplayed games had left the Roofers ring rusty and Bishops were never under any real threat. Perhaps with the return of two midfielders that were missing then the Roofers could get back to their target, Promotion.
Saturday 6th September 2008 JARROW Roofing boss Richie McLoughlin admits the FA Vase holds a very special place in his heart as his side embark on the road to Wembley tomorrow.
Roofing entertain Bishop Auckland in a Preliminary Round tie – and it has evoked memories of one of the most famous spells in the club's history.
It is only three years ago that McLoughlin guided Roofing to within one step of the final after a fantastic run to the last four of the competition.
And while he was happy that his side went out of the FA Cup in midweek, the Roofers manager admits he would love another run in the Vase.
Roofing lost 2-1 to Bridlington Town on Tuesday night, with McLoughlin claiming: "We're not going to win the FA Cup, so I'm not too bothered about going out.
"There's too many competitions, so going out of that one wasn't a major disappointment."
It's a different story when it comes to the FA Vase, however.
McLoughlin admitted: "We would like to progress to the next round.
"The FA Vase is a more realistic competition for sides like us.
"It's some three years ago since we got to the semi-finals. It got us noticed on the footballing map, and got us good publicity.
"I like the Vase, it will always be a bit special to me.
"We're playing well, but we still haven't totally gelled. We're still getting to know some of the players."
Roofing beat Bishop Auckland 2-1 at home back in February – one of the few highlights of a terrible season which saw them relegated from Division One.
Bishops were lucky to survive themselves, only being handed a reprieve after finishing third-bottom because Durham City chose to leave the Northern League for the UniBond.
McLoughlin added: "Bishops will be a hard game, but we're as good as a lot of teams in the First Division."
Roofing are without the influential Paul Hodgson, who has ligament damage to his ankle, and Craig Tate is still suspended, but Paul Catto returns from holiday, and Ryan Jenkins and Richard Paxton – who both missed the midweek game through work – are also available.
Tuesday 2nd September 2008 JARROW Roofing went out of the FA Cup last night after a battling Preliminary Round replay clash at Bridlington.
The game was always going to be a tough ask for the Northern League Division Two side, against opponents who have started their North East Counties League campaign extremely well.
The two sides drew 2-2 at Roofing on Saturday, but despite the efforts of Eifion Williams, who scored for the visitors, Richie McLoughlin's side went down 2-1.
McLoughlin was not too disheartened by Roofing's cup exit, with his side preferring to concentrate on getting promoted back to Division One.
He said: "We played well, which was the main thing. It could have gone either way, and Bridlington played well also, so they deserved their victory.
"We're not going to win the FA Cup, so I'm not too bothered about going out.
"There's too many competitions we're in at the moment – the FA Vase, Durham County Cup, the League Cup as well as the league."
Saturday Aug 30th FA Cup Preliminary round:
Jarrow Roofing 2 Bridlington Town 2
JARROW Roofing face a tricky replay at Bridlington tomorrow night after drawing 2-2 in the FA Cup Preliminary Round on Saturday.
Roofing dominated long periods of the game, but were unable to finish their visitors off in the opening period, and needed a late penalty to earn another bite at the cherry.
Eifion Williams opened the scoring on 15 minutes with a near-post header, and Roofing then had a number of chances to seal the game in the first period.
But on 50 minutes an Ash Allinson 30-yard shot took a wicked deflection to deceive keeper Adam Dowell and bring Bridlington level.
Two minutes later, disaster struck, as Chibuzor Chaiiaca pounced on a back pass to fire home and give the visitors the lead, and the next five minutes saw Roofing put under severe pressure as Bridlington tried to put the game out of sight.
But Roofing weathered the storm, and got back in the game when substitute Andrew Hall was brought down in the box, for Kevin Davison to give the keeper no chance from the spot.
Saturday 23rd August 2008 Thornaby 1 Jarrow Roofing 4
Despite being without manager Richie McLoughlin, the Roofers – led by former Torquay United boss Wes Saunders – easily disposed of a side who went close to going up last season.
Star striker Eifion Williams grabbed his first goal for the club, but it was his strike partner Chris Archer who continued to steal the show.
Archer has been in prolific form early on this campaign, and his brace took his tally to five for the season.
Richard Paxton grabbed Roofing's other goal, with Paul Vickers netting a consolation for Thornaby.
Aug 16th FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round Jarrow Roofing 2 Spennymoor Utd 1
JARROW Roofing produced one of the performances of the weekend in the FA Cup as they disposed of a highly-fancied Spennymoor side 2-1.Roofing were relegated from Division One of the Northern League last season, and Moors must have fancied their chances in the Extra Preliminary Round fixture on Saturday.
But it was sweet revenge for Roofing, who were thumped by Spennymoor at the end of last season.
Roofing took the lead on 16 minutes when Kevin Davison struck a superb 30-yard free-kick which whistled into the top corner, giving the Spennymoor keeper no chance.
But on 51 minutes, Moors were level as Jamie Clark robbed Phil Graham outside the box and fired past Adam Dowell to equalise.
Davison was proving to be a thorn in the side of the Moors rearguard, however, and after a terrific run past three defenders, he was upended in the box, and Chris Archer stepped up to convert the penalty.
Roofing them held on for the last 17 minutes to claim an excellent victory.
Boss Richie McLoughlin said: "We should have been four up by half-time, with their keeper making four great stops to deny Eifion Williams twice and Chris Archer twice.
"It was the same after half-time, with the same two players testing their keeper with another five good chances.
"And with Davison ripping them apart from the wing, and Ryan Jenkins running the centre of midfield, the better side won, which was great after our last game with Spennymoor last season, when we lost 6-0."
