Latest News 4 February 2012 Following the coldest night of the year in the region last night, it comes as no surprise that today's home game against Bedlington Terriers has been called OFF due to a frozen pitch. 1 February 2012 Having established a Twitter presence recently, Consett AFC now has an official Facebook page.

24 January 2012 As you may know Consett AFC are hoping to move to a new ground this year, however that, together with the new Academy and the new Leisure Facilty for the town, are currently being held up by a minority group. This is naturally a cause for frustration for everyone concerned, and to this end Consett supporters are urged to sign an online petition to help push the process forward. Club vice-chairman Frank Bell said, regarding the new football development, "It is important to note that this facility will also house the 34 junior teams with the seven hundred children from the area associated with it. In addition it will provide community facilities for local schools and the club will be working in harmony with the FA to support and provide training and coaching to the local children and adults." > The vice-chairman's message in full
18 January 2012 Consett finally ended their winless league run which had stretched back to 5 November across six games, and they did so in emphatic fashion, hammering fellow strugglers Jarrow Roofing 5-1. It was to be a personal triumph for Michael Mackay who got all five and took his tally for the season to 32. There was no sign of things to come however when the Roofers took the lead in the 12th minute through Aristote Guerin-Lokonga. Mackay levelled things five minutes later though, and scored his and Consett's second on the half hour mark to give the Steelmen a 2-1 half-time lead. There was no further scoring until 15 minutes from time when Mackay completed his hat trick, before adding two more in the 81st and 88th minutes to round off the night in style. > Video highlights can be found here
12 January 2012 In today's draw for the quarter finals of the Durham Challenge Cup, Consett have been handed an away tie at Billingham Town. Likely date for the game is Tuesday 31 January 2012. 10 January 2012 A gutsy display by a depleted Consett side saw them progress to the quarter finals of the Durham Challenge Cup as they gained swift revenge for their home defeat by West Auckland Town three days earlier. The Steelmen led 2-0 at half time through a brace from Harrison Davies. West centre-half Ross Preston volleyed home to make it 2-1 three minutes into the second half. The home side drew level 10 minutes from the end of normal time when Steven Brown scored from the spot, with Carl Piecha being sent off for conceding the penalty. Down to ten men going into extra time, it was Consett who incredibly snatched the winner in the 108th minute when Davies cracked home a left-foot shot into the bottom right corner from 20 yards to complete his hat trick.
2 January 2012 Today's home game against Spennymoor Town has been called OFF. The referee being concerned about a couple of areas of the pitch that are still frozen. 26 December 2011 A near-unrecognisable Consett side went down to a humiliating 1-4 defeat at struggling Tow Law Town. Former Steelman Andrew Thompson put the Lawyers ahead after nine minutes, and two further goals from Mark Nixon had the home side three up inside half an hour. Michael Mackay pulled one back three minutes into the second half but Nixon completed his hat trick eight minutes from time to make it a miserable Boxing Day for Consett who now slump to 18th place in the league. 20 December 2011 Consett's away game at Ashington becomes the latest to fall foul of the cold snap, POSTPONED at 10 o'clock this morning. 17 December 2011 Today's game at Penrith has been POSTPONED. 14 December 2011 Another defeat for the Steelmen as Consett went down 2-4 at Newcastle Benfield. Rarely a happy hunting ground, hopes were high that Consett could buck the trend of defeats at Benfield when David Scorer put them ahead in the 7th minute. However Benfield fought back and were 3-1 up at half time thanks to goals from Antony, Leighton and Chilton. Peareth added a fourth in the 82nd minute before Marc Walton pulled one back four minutes from time. > Video highlights can be found here 10 December 2011 With the pitch still frozen at Belle Vue Park after sub-zero temperatures last night, Consett's home game against Dunston UTS today has been POSTPONED. 7 December 2011 Consett's home game against Jarrow Roofing has been POSTPONED due to a frozen pitch at Belle Vue Park. 3 December 2011 Consett crashed out of the FA Vase with a heavy 0-4 defeat to Northern League colleagues Billingham Synthonia. This was the Steelmen's fourth four-goal defeat already this season and it also extended their uneviable run of conceding two or more goals in a game to ten consecutive matches. In a fairly even first half Synners scored the only goal, a penalty from Liddle. Once the home side doubled their advantage, through a fine solo effort from McWilliams nine minutes into the second half, it was effectively game over. Further goals from Nathan Jameson and Danny Earl merely added salt to the wound. |
