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.

Half Time:  Shildon AFC  2  Billingham Synthonia  0

Kicking against the wind the 2nd half was a dull affair with Shildon’s Lee Scroggins firing over and Ben Wood firing wide, with Synners not able to muster a single shot.

Final Score:  Shildon AFC  2  Billingham Synthonia  0

Goalscorers:  Chapman 24, Scroggins 26.

Shildon AFC keep their league title challenge on track after a close encounter with high flying 3rd placed Marske United on Saturday 17th February 2015. The Railwaymen were 2 – 1 winners after a 90 minute penalty gave the home side all 3 points.

Shildon were ahead after 10 minutes when a right wing corner from Ben Wood found Billy Greulich-Smith who headed into the top corner of the net from 6 yards out.

Marske levelled just 5 minutes later when a corner by Josh Macdonald was pushed out by keeper Kyle Hayes. Shildon’s Paul Connor thought he had cleared the ball off the line, but the assistant referee awarded a goal, given to No 5 Thomas Bott.

It was an open game with chances from both sides. Marske’s Josh Macdonald, looking well off side, was clean through but Kyle Hayes made a great block with his feet.

For Shildon Micky Rae had a one on one with the keeper Robert Dean who also blocked well with his feet.

Half Time:  Shildon AFC  1  Marske United  1

On the hour a Ben Wood scissor kick went just wide, before Wood was through on goal but keeper Dean saved the day..

For Marske, a Darren Hollingsworth power drive was stopped by keeper Hayes.

After a Billy Greulich-Smith header and Mark Doninger firing into the side netting from 6 yards out, it looked like the game would end up all square, but on the 90th minute Adam Wheatley handled in the box for a penalty which Lee Scroggins blasted into the roof of the net.

Shortly after the goal there was a massive fracas with several players from both side involved, but remarkably, no one was booked. The game finished on 97 minutes.
