Seven up Shildon march on in FA Cup

Shildon ensured their progression in the FA Cup with a seven goal thrashing of local rivals Crook Town on Saturday.

A hat trick from man of the match Micky Rae (pictured scoring his first and Shildon’s second) was complemented by goals from Adam Rundle, Ben Wood, Mark Hudson and a late own goal to cap Crook’s miserable day but leave Shildon in seventh heaven.

Shildon will now travel south to take on Padiham of the Evo-Stick North, who were beaten 0-2 in their opening league match at home by Spennymoor Town on the same afternoon.

The Supporters Club is already taking names on a first come first served basis for the coach journey to cheer the lads on in the next round. Traditionally seats fill up very quickly, so get in touch by calling 07784 975451 as soon as possible to book your passage to Padiham on Saturday 30th August – just a fortnight away.

SHILDON: Finch, Harwood, Richardson (Emms), Hudson, Craddock, Atkin, Moore, Rundle, Rae, Wood (Garvie), Ruddy (Greulich-Smith). SUBS (not used): Brackstone, Hodgson, Taylor, Connor.

Shildon AFC v Penrith AFC: FA Cup

It was a disappointing day at the office today for the Railwaymen, who suffered a 0-2 home defeat at the hands of Penrith, which saw them dumped out of the FA Cup at the Preliminary Round stage.

Shildon suffered a double sucker punch on the stroke of the interval as Penrith scored with the only chances they had created in the half.

First Matthew Reid scored with a volley from the edge of the box, just a minute before the half time whistle, and then Steven Rigg thundered home a header with the last move of the first half.

Shildon failed to create any chances in the second half as Penrith played a textbook defensive game to, in the end, comfortably see the game out.

Dean Street prepares for FA Cup football

Dean Street is readying itself for FA Cup football on Saturday with Penrith the visitors for a Preliminary Round tie.

The draw for this and the following round were made together, so Shildon know that, should they prevail, they will face Lancashire opposition in the next round.

The winner of Padiham FC, who won promotion to the Northern Premier League Division One North last season, or their near neighbours and league rivals, Clitheroe FC will make the journey north.

Let’s make sure it’s to Dean Street, so come along and give your support to the Railwaymen as they look to progress in the world’s most FAmous Cup.

Admission for this FA Cup tie is £7 adult and £5 concessions. Under 12s, as always, are free with an accompanying adult. Kick off is at 3pm.
