Jarrow Roofing 0
In the fourth
game of the 2014/15 Season in the EBAC Northern League
game, Dunston entertain Jarrow Roofing, who have started
slowly like Dunston in the league with only one point
from their first two fixtures but also had a good
victory in the FA Cup extra qualifying round. Jarrow
were giving their new signing Peter Leven, an ex pro for
Oxford and Scottish side Kilmarnock, his debut whilst
were missing two of their summer signings Campbell and
McBryde .
The Dunston
squad was weakened through the sad news of Chris Swailes
retirement from the game after 3 good years with Dunston
due to health problems. the Dunston side was also
missing the rested Andy Bulford for this game but
welcomed back centre half David Coulson to retain his
partnership in the back four with Luke Gilhespy, Stephen
Harrison returns to the bench alongside Jonny Wightman.
Jarrow started
strongly attacking the Dunston goal, putting the defence
under pressure but it was not until the 9 minute when
Wright got a shot in which just veered off target,
Dunston first opportunity came to Halliday on 11 minutes
which Marshall had to head clear for a corner. On 12,
Shaw took a through ball from Dunston but just ran out
of pitch before he could get his cross in. Jarrow
replied through Phillips who shot from 20 yards but it
went wide.
On 15, White for
Jarrow had to clear from a Dunston corner to clear his
lines. Wright the centre forward from Jarrow again came
close as he shot on 19 minutes but Connell was on hand
to save. On 20, indecision in the Jarrow defence enabled
Fenwick to poke in a shot which was deflected for a
corner. Wright again was causing problems at the other
end on 22 as he dribbled into the box and shoot but
Connell saved well.
On 23, Davidson
put in a cross to the Dunston goal but Wright placed his
effort wide. Dunston replied 2 minutes later when Dan
Wilson had a 20 yard shot go over the bar. Jarrow
retaliated with Gardiner also shooting over the bar from
20 yards out. On 30 Coulson lost the ball to Kirkup who
fed Wright into the box only for to see his effort go
wide. After 35, Craggs put in a cross for Wilson who was
just unable to convert his effort and the ball went for
a goal kick.
A minute later
Fenwick had a shot from 18 yards deflected for a corner,
from the corner taken by Dan Halliday, Gary Ormston
headed wide. The entertaining game proceeded to half
time with both sides still level.

introduced Nicky Kane at halftime to replace Craig
Hodgson, but once again it was Jarrow on 45 with the
first chance of the half falling to Phillips whose shot

shot which Connell had to beat away. Dunston got back
into the act on 48 as Fenwick had a 25 yard shot saved

bar. Nicky Kane took a quick throw in to Fenwick who

as he broke through the defence.
After 68, Dan
Wilson was forced to dribble the ball across the edge of
the box as the Jarrow defenders made it difficult for
him to get a shot in. The goal came on 72 minutes when
Harrison put a deep cross to the back post were David
Coulson stood strong and placed a header into the net. 1
- 0 to Dunston. Jarrow came back on the offensive and
Wright had a shot come cross deflected but Connell was
on hand to save. On 76, Fenwick got on the end of a
Halliday cross and forced a parried save by Hunter with
the defenders clearing the following danger.
A minute later
Fenwick was denied another opportunity as White
recovered to prevent him shooting. On 85 Kane was fed in
by Wightman but his shot went over the bar, 3 minutes

their forwards to keep them in the game up to half time,
after a slightly slow start to the second half Dunston
got the better chances and eventually ran out worthy
winners and gained their first points of the season.

Match: Luke Gilhespy, once again his reading of
the game and control of the Jarrow Roofing forwards

Fenwick who all were instrumental and industrious
throughout the game.
