February 2003 News

25 February 2003

Following their hard fought win over Whitley Bay at the weekend, disappointment as Consett lost to fellow relegation strugglers Chester-le-Street at Chester Moor.  Alan Batey got Consett's goal in a 1-2 defeat.  Match report now online. 

22 February 2003

A priceless three points for Consett as they defeated the Vase Holders Whitley Bay 1-0 at Belle Vue.  Partially avenging the 0-5 hammering they received at Hillheads in October, voctory was achieved thanks to a 40th minute Chris Hodgson goal.  Match report here.

21 February 2003

A quickfire fixture re-arrangement for us.  The once abandoned and once postponed game at Chester-le-Street has been re-arranged for this coming Tuesday 25 February, 7.30 kick off. 

18 February 2003

That bane of the Northern League at this time of year, the frozen pitch, has accounted for tonight's game at Chester-le-Street which has been called OFF.

17 February 2003

The Newcastle Blue Star away game that was called off on Saturday has now been re-arranged for Saturday March 1 2003.

16 February 2003

The game at Dunston Federation Brewery on 25 February has been POSTPONED.  The league have re-arranged the Dunston v Bedlington League Cup tie for that night instead.

15 February 2003

Today's game at Newcastle Blue Star has been called OFF due to the pitch at the Wheatsheaf being still frozen in parts.

12 February 2003

More fixture news - the postponed home and away games against Prudhoe Town have been re-arranged for next month.  The away game at Kimberley Park will take place on Tuesday 4 March, and then we entertain Prudhoe the following week, Wednesday 12 March.  Given that Prudhoe's 6-4 win over Peterlee last night saw them climb above us to send us back into the bottom three, the outcome of those two games could go a long way towards deciding who will be playing 2nd division football next season.

8 February 2003

Consett's recent promising run of league results came to a very abrupt end with a disappointing 0-1 home defeat against a resurgent Washington.  Keith Hutchinson's 30 yard screamer 19 minutes from time won it for the visitors, and there could be no argument about the result either as a poor performance from the Steelmen got what it deserved.  Click here for the Match report.

Can the two students new to the area who contacted the website using the feedback form please email me and provide me with a return email address.

A couple of fixture re-arrangements - the home game against Whitley Bay has been brought forward a week to Saturday 22 February, and the trip to Dunston Federation Brewery which was postponed last month will take place the following Tuesday 25 February (N.B. NOT March as stated earlier!).  

1 February 2003

Due to the wintry conditions over the last few days, today's game at Morpeth has been POSTPONED.
