After a Bank Holiday win over Yarm & Eaglescliffe on Saturday, Newcastle Blue Star find themselves back in action this evening and although the visit of Bishop Auckland is set to be a tough one, it will come off the back of a real shift at the weekend. A shift that ultimately produced another set of maximum points for Paul Brayson’s men and with Jakub Zych’s powerful run early in the first half being rewarded with a goal, it was that single moment of quality that proved to be

A rare midweek off in this season’s early schedule and after the way Saturday’s clash at home to Northallerton concluded, the additional rest would have been welcome to the players and supporters in Blue Star colours. After Paul Brayson’s men fell behind to Northallerton at the KD Stadium, there was a sense that it was going to end up as one of those days. Chance after chance being swatted away be the opposition’s number one, his goal frame also living something of a charmed

The second of two home league games in a week for Newcastle Blue Star and after Tuesday’s outing against Crook Town, manager Paul Brayson will hope that his players can deliver more of the same in terms of performance. Especially as those terms led to a first win of the campaign at the KD Stadium and with both Cameron Brewis and Jakub Zych scoring fantastic strikes from long distance, it was then a short wait until all three points were confirmed. Admittedly there was a perio

After a quartet of matches on the road, Newcastle Blue Star return to Scotswood in just a few hours and although the KD Stadium will be familiar territory, a lack of home league win thus far has been a rather unfamiliar feeling this season. However, a first league win was collected a week ago and after getting the better of Blyth Town on the Tuesday, Paul Brayson and his players made the trip to Shildon on Saturday while looking for back-to-back victories. Unfortunately for B

It may have taken five attempts but Tuesday night saw Newcastle Blue Star collect their first win of this current Northern League season and if you do have to wait that long, then you may as well make it worthwhile. Especially as Paul Brayson’s men had the rather unenviable task of travelling to then league leaders Blyth Town but with the KD Stadium outfit collecting all three points thanks to a 3-1 win, it was Tuesday’s hosts who ended the game with a feeling of envy. On the

Newcastle Blue Star are thrilled to welcome talented goalkeeper Will Anderson to the club, joining on an initial short-term loan from South Shields FC. The 18 year old shot stopper started his career at Killingworth, before enjoying a 5 year spell at Newcastle United, and is currently with the Mariners in the National League North after impressing during pre-season. Anderson, who joins straight up with the lads ahead of tomorrows league fixture vs Shildon, said: “I’m really

After a dalliance with the FA Cup at the weekend, Newcastle Blue Star find themselves back in league action this evening and after pitching up in Blyth on Saturday, they once again return to this pocket of Northumberland in just a few hours. Whereas it was the Spartans who played the role of opponents just over 72 hours ago, it is now time for Blyth Town to take over hosting duties and with the start that the latter have made this season, it is a case of out of the frying pan

After a difficult opening to the league campaign, Newcastle Blue Star will be hoping the FA Cup can provide a welcome change of focus as they make the relatively short journey to Blyth Spartans on Saturday. That opening to the season sees Blue Star still searching for their first league victory of the season and the search continues after suffering a 4-1 defeat at Easington Colliery on Wednesday night, leaving the Scotswood outfit with just a single point to their name. Their

Player Departure | Sean Reid Newcastle Blue Star can confirm that club captain Sean Reid has departed NE15 after 70 appearances and countless magical moments. A key player, and fan favourite, Reidy has been an influential player on the pitch since coming to Scotswood - helping lead the lads to many a memorable moment. Despite a significant health scare, the club stood by the skipper who returned to the pitch following a period on the sidelines, and Reidy repaid the faith, goi

After a flurry of home league games at the KD Stadium, Newcastle Blue Star find themselves on the road for the first time this season and after struggles at Scotswood, they will be looking for better fortunes on enemy territory. Three successive encounters in front of their own support but failure to find a first league win of the season has been a large source of frustration for Blue Star – frustration that would have increased after Friday’s defeat to Whickham. A defeat tha
