Northern League: Malia wants Jarrow momentum as Boldon CA battle to draw
There were positive results for Jarrow and Boldon CA in the Northern League this weekend.
Jarrow FC manager Kennie Malia wants his side to build momentum as they head into four consecutive home games on the back of a remarkable win at Northern League newcomers Seaton Carew.
Saturday’s hosts were on a high after putting five past Durham United in midweek - but they found themselves on the wrong end of a similar hammering as Jonathon Bainbridge, Brad Lowes, Michael Enwere, Stephen Siyanbola and Evan Whittle all netted to give Jarrow a big win at Hornby Park. Malia’s men now head into four home games inside a fortnight and the Jarrow boss has set a firm demand for his players.
He told The Gazette: “It’s obviously a bit unusual the way the fixtures have fallen for us and it’s not really something you’d expect to happen so early in the season - especially when you play a team for a second time when you’ve only played a few teams once. But the run of home games is a bit of an opportunity for us and we know we can start building momentum and we have tended to be strong at Perth Green during my time here so if that continues we can really move things forward early in the season.”
Boldon CA also remain unbeaten for the season after they battled to a share of the points in their home game with Billingham Town.
The battle of two sides with perfect records looked to be going the way of Boldon as Callum Larmouth put them in front on 36 minutes - but a last-gasp equaliser from Ryan Telford ensured the spoils were shared.
