Recent acquisition Tafari Nicholas grabbed a brace with Matty Robinson also on the scoresheet before added time goals from Owen Hayton & Paul Young put the gloss on the result. At home in league action they have won 2/7 games, with five defeats completing their currently draw-less NL2 record at the BW. Both of those home wins have come in their last three games on home soil. Jarrow 2nd | WWWLLW - A late James Armstrong goal clinched a 1-0 victory away at Ryton & Crawcrook Albion last Saturday. Armstrong’s 90+3 minute winner claimed a fourth successive league win, and extended Division Two’s only unbeaten record in to 16 league games They are unbeaten on the road in league action; they have won 7/9 league games, with two draws rounding out their current NL2 away record. Boldon CA are the other other Division Two side yet to taste defeat on their league travels. They are the top scorers in NL2 with 44 goals from their sixteen league outings - an average of 2.75 goals scored per league outing. They have been most potent in the last fifteen minutes of the first half with 10 goals coming in the 31-45+ minute window. They have also conceded the fewest goals in the division with just 11 in the league games. An average of 0.69 goal against per game. They have yet to concede a league goal in the first or last fifteen minutes so far this season. ⏪THIS SEASON// No previous league meeting this season. 🔙LAST SEASON// Jarrow edged a 1-0 win in last season’s corresponding league fixture at the BW. Joe Bates’ 27th minute strike proved to be the game’s deciding moment. 🔮OUR PREDICTION// Jarra's outstanding away record and status as Division Two's top scorers make them clear favourites for this trip to Teesside. Boysie have shown signs of improvement, particularly at home, but face a side that also boasts the division's best defensive record. The hosts should be competitive, yet Jarra's consistency at both ends of the pitch is difficult to overlook. Boysie 1-3 Jarra Comments, Likes & Reposts are very much appreciated.

Kingston Butler edged the visitors back in front on 26 minutes as he tapped home at the back post but Liam Thear’s 43rd minute goal would take the sides into the break back all square. Larmouth struck a free kick into the chest of Seaton stopper Matty Wilkinson as both sides failed to create a clear cut second half chance. But Fairley showed his quality when he put the hosts ahead with seven to play, the experienced forward lashing home from a Callum Hughes pass for 3-2. Hughes then rubbered stamped the win as he netted Boldon’s fourth in the fourth minute of added time.
