December 2002 News

28 December 2002

Another valuable point for Consett this afternoon, thanks to a tremendous second half performance against second placed Brandon United.  Trailing 0-2 to their visitors at half time, the Steelmen stormed back to force a 2-2 draw courtesy of two Tony Halliday goals.  Indeed with Consett finishing the stronger of the two teams they might even have taken all three points.  Match Report and pictures now online.

Unsurprisingly, in view of a week of sub-zero temperatures in the North East, today's game at Prudhoe is OFF.

COLIN CLOCKS UP 500

Colin McLeod made his 500th competitive appearances for Consett in the game against Tow Law Town on 14th December. He became the second player to reach this landmark in recent weeks with Jeff Sugden having reached the milestone in October. Colin has been tremendously loyal to the club over the years as I'm sure he could have played at a higher level or could have gone to a more successful Northern League Club.  But Colin has been happy at Consett and his goals have helped the club to some great moments.  The most important of his 232 goals for the club came in 1996 when he scored the winner against Gateshead which put us through to the First Round Proper of the FA Cup.  He also helped the Steelmen to a League Cup win in 1995.  Manager Colin Carr said, "He's been a great servant to the club.  To average a goal every couple of games is a great achievement.  He doesn't show any signs of easing up, I'm pleased to say."

Consett were denied what would have been a deserved three points at Belle Vue today by a late Tow Law penalty (above).  Earlier in the game Colin McLeod had celebrated the occasion of his 500th appearance for Consett by giving the Steelmen the lead three minutes after half time.  It was a lead that Consett were to hold until five minutes from time when Nicholson converted a penalty for a foul on Thompson by Rod Butler.  Insult was added to injury in stoppage time when keeper Stuart Kelly was sent off for abusing the referee.  Click here for a Match Report and pictures.

The winning numbers for November's Monthly Draw are 742, 907, 104 & 1135.

7 December 2002

A second defeat in seven days at the hands of Billingham Sythonia today, however, no disgrace as Consett were narrowly beaten 2-3 at Central Avenue.  Consett twice came from behind with goals from Andrew Thompson and Lee Suddes, but finally succumbed to a third from the Synners eight minutes from time.
