Neither team played in a while but Jesmond taking nothing home from Medowie with 2-1 then 3-1 losses. Reggies woeful game that I can only comment on half of. We are now facing uphill battle for top four.

Firsts. 0-1 down when got exposed at the back on the counter, 1-1 on stroke of h/t with a perfect cross headed home. Second half saw a long range range free kick appear to get a deflection then a sub got their 3rd late on with almost his first touch - header into top corner that was either very fortunate or clinical. At that stage we had 10 men.

Onto the send off, deserved for ill discipline. Didn't need our player confronted on way off by Medowie sideline experts. Push and shove then ensued between many which culminated in a fight between Medowie player and their own fans. Apparently getting into that fight only warranted a yellow. Nice touch a couple of first graders actually apologising for their fans. That apology is all that needs to be said on the men and women in question.

Touching back to referee. Tad whistle happy but fair and no complaints. Touchy good too. Unofficial linesman clueless but not to blame. No wingeing either on personnel as had only one of top 15 unavailable.

Couldn't get our game going and that together with some defensive errors this is what happens. Well done Medowie.
