Jarrow have three homes games in a week as they look to push for promotion into Northern League Division One.

Kennie Malia believes Jarrow can give themselves a ‘perfect platform’ for their promotion push as they face three consecutive home games over the next week.

Malia’s side face his former club Prudhoe YC on Saturday and head into the game knowing a win coupled with defeats for Boldon CA and Billingham Town would take them to the top of the Northern League Division Two table. That game is followed by home clashes with Park View in midweek and Billingham Synthonia next weekend as Jarrow look to take their unbeaten run in the league past the 20-game mark.

Malia is relishing what could be a pivotal week in the race for promotion into the Northern League’s top tier and has called on the Perth Green community to get behind their players as they look to continue their stunning form.

He told The Gazette: “We can go into the next three games, knowing we have made Perth Green a bit of a fortress and there is an opportunity for us to give ourselves a perfect platform to really kick on. We are always strong at home, we always have been during our time at the club and the supporters have been a big part of that. They get behind us, they support the lads and we know they love an away trip but we know they will be there in their numbers for all of these away games.”

Malia has a strong squad to select from as his side look to continue their push for promotion.
