Shildon moved back to the top of the table with a 2-1 victory over Whickham.
Whickham took the lead after 12mins with a counter attack ending with Joe Mole heading in at the far post.
After that Shildon upped the pressure and Jack Blackford got them level with a fine finish into the bottom corner of the net. Just before half time he produced a carbon copy of the goal to put Shildon ahead.
In the second half the young Shildon side (fielding 7 under 21) withstood pressure from Whickham to gain the points.
