What is The Geordie Matchday?

Since starting at the away game at Hayes & Yeading Utd back in February 2023, The Geordie Matchday has brought live match commentary to all Geordies, everywhere across the globe.

 

Set up and started by Rob Overfield, with Searus Aynsley on board to provide expert summaries, you have a team who clearly love the challenges that live sport provides.

 

The programme usually begins around 10 minutes ahead of kick off, to bring a game preview and the team news ahead of the start of the game. 

 

In addition, Searus and Rob usually get together with our Manager Chris Moore before the match to briefly set the scene in the dressing room,along with a short post match chat to wrap up the afternoon, both posted on Twitter.

 

Rob tells us...

"We'll be looking to cover as many games as we can, home and away, weekends and midweek. The Southern League covers a large area, so there might be a game here and there we aren't able to cover, but we'll do our best to cover as many as we can."

Rob Overfield

A Hull City supporter, Rob grew up in the East Riding of Yorkshire but discovered non-league football when he arrived in London in 2008 to get married. 

 

While spending 11 years at Hampton & Richmond Borough as press officer and then matchday secretary, Rob volunteered to provide commentary for the clubs video stream during the COVID lockdown.  

 

The video stream then became Hampton's radio channel for the 2021-22 season, with Rob becoming one of the channel's regular voices. 

 

He left Hampton in January 2023 to come and join the Geordies media team in February 2023.

Searus Aynsley

Hi all, I’m Searus. I'm 24 and originally from up North!

I’ve been a Newcastle United fan since the first day I can remember and now avid Hanwell follower too!

I currently live in Fulham and have been involved in Hanwell since February 2023 doing the live match commentary alongside Rob.

My day job is actually as a live sports commentary coordinator and so it’s always something I’ve been interested in and wanted to be involved with. Happy to be involved... & Howay all the Geordie lads!
