Moore Leaves the Railwaymen

Shildon Association Football Club can confirm manager Daniel Moore has left the Club.

The club have held extensive talks with Daniel in recent weeks and a mutual decision was taken not to extend his current contract at Dean Street.

‘Bobby’ has amassed almost 500 appearances over two spells with the Railwaymen and has enjoyed success as both a player and a manager.

After moving into the dugout in January 2017, Daniel has led the club to three top six finishes in the Northern League and played a significant role in our first ever promotion into the Northern Premier League.

A historic first season in step four of the non-league pyramid has been a success with the club securing a play-off place and producing some moments that will live long in the memory.

Silverware also arrived in the form of the Cleator Cup, and of course, the memorable 1-0 win against South Shields in the final of the Durham Challenge Cup.

However, after a series of meetings in the last fortnight, a decision has been taken by both parties to bring an end to his time with the club as Daniel feels that a move will allow him to progress on to the next step in his managerial career. His Assistant, Mark Hudson also leaves the Club.

Club chairman David Dent said: “I will never forget how Dan stepped into the job in extremely difficult circumstances.  We have both grown together over the years and with the backing of the Club, he has taken Shildon AFC to a level that we have never played at before where we have surprised a few people in the NPL getting into the play-offs in our first season.  Mark, as well has also played a big part in our success.  It has become evident that Dan needs to move on, which he believes is best for him and it’s also best for the Club. This is the end of an era and we now look forward to starting a new chapter as we look to build upon our great start within the NPL.”

Further announcements will be made in due course. 

Everyone connected with Shildon AFC wishes Daniel and Mark the best of luck in their next venture.

Mental Health Awareness Week

Manager Daniel has sent this message during Mental Health Awareness Week 👊🏼

“This is a good week with the current situation for people to reach out to friends and family to check in and see how everyone is doing.

This weekend I’m going to complete an SAS endurance test ran by The SF Experience Carrying 55lb in weight and completing 64km over 2 days and along the way I’m going to check in with some of the supporters of Shildon Football Club that have been shielding and self isolating.

Now in no way is this a fundraiser but these people are normally up volunteering their own time at the club during the close season completing ground maintenance.”

Shildon Manager Celebrates Anniversary at Community Football Club

SHILDON AFC manager Daniel Moore will celebrate two years in charge at the Ebac Northern League club this month.

Moore signed a three year contract with the club back in January 2017 and took the club to forth position in the Northern League in his first season and third in his second.  He also took Shildon to the FA cup forth qualifying round last season and won the Cleator Cup.

Aged 34, Moore is a young, driven and increasingly experienced manager who believes in giving the clubs emerging talent an opportunity on the pitch, whilst maintaining a strong performing squad.   An ethos which has seen the club climb to sixth position in the league table with 12 games to go.

The anniversary falls within weeks of reaching 500 games played for the club and 100 games managed.

Moore said : “I am proud of how far the team has come in the past two years and more so in the last six months.  There have been changes both on the pitch and off the pitch which ultimately improve individual and team performance.  I am already taking steps to secure a solid start to the next season and I am looking forward to the challenges ahead”

David Dent, chairman of Shildon AFC added : “ Daniel has made a great start to his managerial career and we have now put a structure in place where he can only continue to improve. Daniel is aware of the level of investment that is going into the Club as we seek to achieve our ambitions on and off the pitch and he has a major part to play in realising those objectives. I think now we are starting to see the results of this on the pitch and I’m hopeful that this is just the beginning “

Final Score ENL1: Shildon 2 West Auckland 2

Honours were even in the Local Derby against West Auckland.

Former Shildon striker Ben Wood gave the visitors the lead after 10 mins when he slotted the ball past Liversedge in the Shildon Goal. With seconds remaining in the first half and put the ball under West Auckland Keeper Adam McHugh.

In the second half it was West Auckland who again took the lead when another former player Anthony Bell scored from the spot after Denver Morris was adjudged to of been brought down in the box. 2 minutes into injury time Matty Robson stepped up and scored from the spot after Daniel Moore was brought down in the box.

Mark Boyd joins the management team

Daniel Moore has strengthened his management team for the 2017/18 Season by bringing in former professional footballer Mark Boyd.

Mark began his career in the Newcastle United youth team coming through the ranks before leaving on a free transfer to League One side Port Vale after being recommended to the “Valiants” manager Brian Horton by Bobby Robson.

However, he suffered a broken ankle with a couple of months of the season remaining. Boyd never really forced his way back into the reckoning the following season as Vale were challenging for the play-offs in League One and he was released by mutual consent in 2004 to join Carlisle United until the end of the season.

For the next two seasons Boyd could not forge a longer term deal with a club and ended up playing bit part roles for Carlisle United, Gretna, Macclesfield Town, and finally Accrington Stanley, before eventually signing for Conference side Southport before the 2006–07 season. His Southport career began disappointingly with a missed penalty in the team’s first game of the season. The next year he transferred to Sligo Rovers in the Republic of Ireland.

In January 2008 he was back in England with Barrow of the Conference North.In May 2008, Barrow beat Staylybridge Celtic 1–0 to gain promotion back into the Conference National via the Conference North play-offs. Boyd remained a key part of the Barrow squad during their first two seasons in the Conference National, culminating in the club’s 2–1 victory over Stevenage in the 2009–10 FA Trophy final. In the match itself Boyd replaced Paul Rutherford with just ten minutes of extra time remaining, Jason Walker having already scored Barrow’s winning goal three minutes earlier.

In February 2011 Boyd signed a short contract at Droylsden of the Conference North, following a one-month loan spell. In the June that year he became Workington’s first summer signing, penning a one-year deal. The “Reds” finished 13th and 14th in the Conference North in 2011–12 and 2012–13. He quit Workington in June 2013 to join Northern League side Celtic Nation. He helped Celtic Nation to a second-place finish in the Northern League in 2013–14. After taking a career break, he joined Penrith of the Northern League Division One in March 2016, and moved on to Northern Alliance Premier Division side Carlisle City later in the year.

Chairman’s Update

Chairmans Update 

There’s been a lot of changes at Shildon recently. We have a new Management team and in the appointment of Dan Moore,assisted by Mickey Barron, we have one of the most talented young Managers in the Northern League. I am delighted to confirm that Dan has just signed a 3 year contract which gives him some security and the Club some continuity as we take up the challenge to prove the doubters wrong and build a squad which will challenge for honours at whatever level we compete at over the next 3 years and beyond. This process has already begun with the signing of Adam Burnicle on a 2 year contract and the commitment from some of the existing players to next season, most notably Sam Hodgson who has committed his future to Shildon for the next 2 seasons. We have a list of targets and there be  will be some exciting developments  over the close   season. 

The Board has a challenge to give Dan a competitive budget and as an entire Club we are up for this. A major sponsor has been retained for the next 3 years and Platinum club members are being secured. We also are looking to strengthen our Board with the appointment of a local businessman. We of course need the support of the town in coming through the gates and this coming season is no different. We are on a journey here and I would ask the local community to get behind us.

Off the field I have commissioned an Architect to look to develop plans for a new  clubhouse and I am hopeful we will be in a position to submit a planning application in the pre season. We are currently appraising tenders for our new stand and subject to confirmation of Football Foundation work we are on course to start building work during the summer with it being completed before Christmas. All of this work establishes our infrastructure which is vitally important to creating a sustainable community Club.

These developments will cost us something in the region of £250,000 and we need the support of everyone to make them happen. There will be a range of sponsorship opportunities that we will present in the near future including a bucket collection around the ground. We are nearly there with these and your support will help us get over the line, so please dig deep!

These are exciting times for the Club, I’m really confident about the future and I look forward to the birth of a new era growing both the Club and the team
