January 2003 News

28 January 2003

Consett's last chance of silverware this season ended with a 0-2 defeat at the home of Billingham Synthonia.  The Synners completed their third victory over Consett in a 60 day period, with two second half goals from Wood and Radigan.  In terms of chances it was a pretty one-sided contest, and the scoreline was about fair.  Match report and pictures now online.


25 January 2003

A priceless three points for Consett today as they defeated relegation rivals Peterlee 2-1 at Belle Vue. Goals either side of half time from Colin McLeod and Johnny Brown gave the Steelmen a two goal lead, but a Cobain header midway through the second half ensured a nervous finale had to be endured.  Match Report and pictures now online.

22 January 2003

Tonight's game at Shildon was POSTPONED due to a waterlogged pitch at Dean Street.

Some other news, the game at Chester-le-Street which was abandoned at half time in November due to floodlight failure has now been rescheduled for Tuesday 18 February. 

19 January 2003

Been neglecting the Juniors a bit this season but the Juniors Page has now been updated with the current league standings for the age groups Under 11s to Under 17s.  If anyone can provide me with any recent results for any of the junior sides then I'll post them here.

18 January 2003

After a number of postponements, Consett were in action for the first time this year at leaders Bedlington today.  In a game which saw a welcome return to first team action after a serious shoulder injury for keeper and last season's Player of the Year James Platten, The Steelmen kept up their impressive run of recent results by forcing a 1-1 draw.  Milner gave the Terriers the lead after 14 minutes, but just as they did against Brandon last time out Consett stormed back in the second half, and equalised through Mark Lee in the 65th minute.  Consett held on for the point despite being reduced to 10 men shortly afterwards when Johnny Brown, just returning from suspension, was shown a second yellow card.  Click here for the full Match Report.

11 January 2003

With Belle Vue Park still buried beneath a couple of inches of snow, today's home game against Jarrow Roofing becomes the third match be called OFF in the last seven days.

7 January 2003

Another postponement due to the Arctic weather. Tomorrow night's home game against Prudhoe Town, has been called OFF already, amidst rumours that brass monkeys have been seen wandering the streets of Consett looking for welders!

4 January 2003

Today's game at Dunston Fed, along with every other game in the Northern League today, has been called OFF.
