Northern League Cup, Group G
Jarrow 1 Sunderland West End 1 (att 78)
This is Jarrow's third season as a Northern League club, which means it's taken me a while to get around to visiting their ground and to recomplete the league.
The format of this season's Northern League Cup helped, with round-robin group games guaranteeing clubs midweek matches, and for once it was a trouble-free rush hour journey from Manchester to the North East.
Jarrow's ground is attached to the Perth Green Community Association, and the football club appear to have done good job of ensuring they're an asset for the local community. There was a decent turn out of spectators for a league cup tie.
The ground is fully enclosed and floodlit - obviously for a 7.30 kick off in late September - and spectators who want a roof have a choice between a small seated stand or a covered standing area. The two stands flank the dugouts.
It was a very enjoyable game. Jarrow started well but lacked a cutting edge to go with their neat passing, and it was West End who scored first and took their 1-0 lead into half time.
The home side had the better of the second period and deserved their equaliser. They were pushing hard for a winner in the closing minutes, but run out of time and had to settle for a point.
