Shildon Stay In Touch

Shildon AFC stay in touch with the top three teams in the league after an easy 5 – 0 home win on Wednesday 30th November 2016 against Washinton FC, the same team they played just seven days earlier, but this time the home sides performance was much more clinical.

The Railwaymen were ahead after just 4 minutes when Danny Parker headed in from a corner.

Just 4 minutes later Washington keeper Dale Connor failed to hold a Micky Rae shot and Billy Greulich-Smith fired in for the 2nd.

Washington then lost their keeper and Dan Mullen when in goal, and he conceded a third goal for Shildon on 38 minutes when Lewis Wing fired home a free kick from the edge of the box.

Bobby Moore scored another from close range right on half time.

Half Time:  Shildon AFC  4  Washington FC  0

With the game over Shildon missed several more chances until Paul Connor scored at the second attempt on 78 minutes.

With one minute remaining Washington were down to 10 men when Lewis Galpin received his 2nd yellow.
