Shildon AFC v Bedlington Terriers

Steven Johnson made a welcome – and scoring – return debut at Dean Street as The Railwaymen took on the Terriers in Ebac Northern League Division One.

A dream start saw Johnson score a first minute opener in a game in which the home side were rarely troubled. Second half goals from Sam Garvie and a second from Johnson made sure Shildon collected all three points to keep their title dreams on track.

Sammy seals it in soggy Bedlington

Shildon returned from Bedlington with all three points after one of the most dominant displays one is likely to witness at any match. The foul weather and televised World Cup football kept the attendance below the hoped for spike that Friday night football might bring to the Northern League this season, but the small crowd were nevertheless entertained by the one-sided spectacle.

In the pouring rain, the Railwaymen poured forward from start to finish, forcing the Terriers onto the back foot for the majority of the match. Yet it took a fabulous save from Lewis Graham midway through the second half to prevent the home side from taking a shock lead.

Diving to his right, the young keeper fingertipped the ball onto the post and, moments later, Shildon benefitted from another slight contact as Sam Garvie’s cross was diverted into the net for a deserved, if somewhat fortunate goal to take the lead.

Ten minutes from time Garvie doubled his and Shildon’s tally with a thunderous drive to put the match beyond Bedlington.

It was another match in which Shildon forged countless opportunities but failed to find the net until the home defence’s luckless intervention in the 66th minute. Of course it could also be argued that by creating so many chances, the breakthrough is almost a statistical inevitability. If any match made the case for such an argument it was surely this one.

Shildon must be commended for continuing to search for the first goal in the face of so many chances falling by the wayside and, having found the opener, it seemed certain that the scoreline would be extended.

Thirteen minutes from time Shildon made a double substitution. The industrious pair of Billy Greulich-Smith and Ben Wood were replaced by Stephen Turnbull and Paul Connor, both of whom were making welcome returns from injury.

Within three minutes the pair combined to force the opening that led to the second goal. Turnbull’s cross from Connor’s pass was laid back into the striker’s path by Scroggins. The blocked shot landed in Garvie’s path and the forward volleyed powerfully home.

The scoreline failed to demonstrate Shildon’s complete dominance of this tie, but the side will be happy to celebrate taking all three points in this first of at least five Friday night fixtures the side will play this season.

Friday night football is here!

Friday night football is upon us as the Railwaymen get set to travel to Bedlington for their first Friday fixture of the season.

At this early stage, Shildon sit 14th having played just five matches while Bedlington, having overcome their difficulties from last season, lie in second position after playing seven games.

A win tomorrow for the Railwaymen will shoot them at least eight places up the league before the bulk of the fixtures are played on Saturday afternoon.

Friday night football has generated much debate about its merits, but Shildon manager, Gary Forrest, is convinced that it will bring financial benefits to the Northern League.

“I understand the traditionalists will want us to play on a Saturday,” said Gary in last weekend’s match programme, “but surely in light of the impact that Sky TV and Premier League football is having on grassroots football we must experiment, and my personal belief is that Friday night football will significantly increase attendances.

“I have looked at the attendances of the Northern League teams in the last round of the FA Cup,” continues Gary. “The only club that had an increased attendance level was Bishop Auckland. Coincidently, they played their game on the Friday night. Other clubs, Spennymoor included, saw a decrease on their attendance compared to their last home game.

“We have managed to agree to play Friday night with a few clubs so far, but for us to properly compare results, we probably need to play at least 10 homes games on a Friday night.

“If we could get an extra 100 people through the turnstiles,” suggests Gary, “it would generate approximately £500 extra revenue per game, twenty two homes games a season is £11,000.”

Shildon will be looking to return to winning ways after falling in the FA Cup at home against Penrith last Saturday.
