Guisborough Town v Shildon

Shildon took the lead in their pre-season Eric Powell Charity Cup match at Guisborough Town, but the home side proved too strong for the much-changed Shildon, who gave some of their young reserves the opportunity to taste first team football. Two unstoppable free kicks and another goal gave Guisborough a 3-1 win and the trophy. Tom Clegg’s photos are available here and online at Flickr.

Tow Law v Shildon

Shildon’s pre-season got off to a flier with a 5-2 win at Tow Law Town. Billy Greulich-Smith opened the scoring at the Ironworks before Paul Connor doubled the visitors’ lead.

But the home side tested the Railwaymen by scoring either side of half time to draw the sides level before Shildon retook the lead through a Mark Hudson penalty and then pulled away to a comfortable victory with a debut goal for Michael Rae before the pick of the bunch by Sam Hodgson.

Tom Clegg was there to take the photos which can be viewed here and on Flickr.

Shildon v Consett AFC: DCC SF

Tom Clegg’s photos from Shildon’s Durham Challenge Cup semi final victory over Consett AFC. The Railwaymen progressed to their first cup final in six years with a 3-1 victory over the Steelmen.

Consett took a first half lead but were pegged back by Ben Wood’s 35 yard equaliser. Two second half goals from Darren Richardson and Mark Hudson sealed the comeback win to set up a thrilling final against Spennymoor Town at Heritage Park on Good Friday at 10.45am.
