Five minutes later David Ferguson was brought down in the box by Ross Wilkinson and Anth Bell converted the spot kick.

Just before the interval Amar Purewal’s shot was parred by the keeper but Purewal fired the rebound high into the roof of the net.

Half Time:  Shildon AFC  3  Whitley Bay  0

Whitley were more positive in the 2nd half with Alex Kemster missing two good chances, before Shildon extended their lead when Lewis Wing beat three men and put Anth Bell through for him to round the keeper and fire into the empty net.
