North Shields had several chances to go into the lead but Newbrook pulled off a string of good saves to keep the game level.

The final goal of the game arrived with only 3 minutes left on the clock when North Shields full back went down the right to fire low past the Shildon keeper.

Match Report: Shildon 1-0 North Shields by @brighton_ash

Railway Men extend unbeaten run of form  

Shildon continued their unbeaten form as they cruised home to a comfortable 1-0 victory over a dogged North Shields.

The home supporters had to wait until the 56th minute for the lone goal of the contest as hometown boy Ben Trotter, slotted home a lovely curling strike from the left edge of the North Shields box to find the far corner.   

It could well have been two though as the Railway Men had a goal disallowed only moments before as forward Billy Greulich-Smith found himself free in the box, burying the chance only to be ruled out for offside.

The home side were by far the better of the two all match long, as North Shields struggled to make inroads into Shildon’s half for most of the game.

An opinion shared by manager Daniel Moore at full time who said, “We stayed switched on, I think we dominated the game from start to finish”. 

“I love a 1-0, clean sheet, but I said at half time just keep plugging away and it will come, and it was a great finish from Ben”.

The result now sees Shildon leap frog North Shields up into 7th still with a game in hand and manager Moore is looking for the team to use Saturday’s result as a benchmark for the remainder of the season and beyond.

“I said to them a few weeks back to finish unbeaten”.

“We go above them now, so the aim is to finish as high as possible and get into good habits looking forward to next season”.

Shildon’s attention will now switch to a trip to Whickham next Saturday in search of another three points and maintaining that unbeaten record.

Shildon looking to return to winning ways

By Ashley Brighton

Shildon will look to continue their unbeaten run as they welcome a high scoring North Shields side to Dean Street this Saturday, in a game that promises excitement.

The Railway men are unbeaten in all competitions since their 2-0 victory over Hartlepool in the semi-finals of the Durham Challenge Cup back in February.

A run that manager Daniel Moore is keen to continue after challenging the players to see out the remainder of season undefeated.

So far, the players have responded well to the manager’s challenge, despite a disappointing result home to Whitley Bay, drawing 2-2.

However, the Shildon boss still felt there was cause for celebration looking ahead to the remainder of the season.

He said, “I was, and the players were disappointed to only take a point out of the game last week against Whitley Bay, even though we had 10 men for the majority of the game, so that says a lot about the character and desire to win”.

Saturday’s matchup also is an opportunity for Shildon to leap-frog their opponents up into 7th place ever closer to the top six and the boss has not underestimated the importance a win may have.

“Tomorrow is a big game if we want to finish in the top six, we have to win, simple as that”.

Shildon currently sit two behind the away side as well as having a match in hand. The Railway men come into Saturday’s fixture with little in the way of selection concerns, the only notable absentee being forward Zac Atkinson who misses out through suspension.

In the last minute of the game, Craig McFarlane scored to make the final score 5-3.
