Shildon continued to push forward and had a very controversial penalty appeal turned down, before a Ben Reay shot hit Alfie Steel on the line and the ball somehow didn’t go in. The home side caught Shildon on the break when Tyler Goodman raced through in the 90th minute to seal the game for Marske, Shildon still had time to get a consolation goal when Alfie Steel ran through in the 97th minute, a very good defensive performance won the game for Marske, the game ending 3-2.
