Tonight’s game, just like the previous encounter with Billingham, was anything but a classic with Shildon not at their best and Synners not able to get a single shot on target for the whole 90 minutes.
Shildon took the lead after 17 minutes when a shot come cross from Darren Craddock was deemed to have crossed the line after a goalmouth scramble.
Thereafter, there wasn’t another shot from either side until just before the break when Paul Connor ran through and fired past keeper Peter Burke.

League Cup Result
Shildon AFC are through to the Last Eight
Shildon AFC are through to the last eight of the Brooks Milestone Northern League Cup after an easy 2 – 0 home win against Billingham Synthonia on Wednesday 18th February 2015.
It was third time lucky for the game to be played as the previous two dates were cancelled because of the bad weather.
On a windy evening, it was the visitors who had the first chance of the game on 20 minutes when Ross Gardner blasted over the bar. It transpired this was the only scoring chance Synners had for the whole of the 90 minutes, with Shildon’s keeper Kyle Hayes not required to make a single save all night.
The Railwaymen took the lead on 24 minutes when a well hit free kick was fired over keeper Peter Burke for 1 – 0.
Two minutes later Ben Wood was tripped in the box for a penalty which Lee Scroggins blasted in.
On 36 minutes Shildon nearly got a third when a perfect cross from Paul Connor found Billy Greulich-Smith who headed against the post.
