Shildon 3 Seaham Red Star 0

Shildon Keep the Pressure on Morpeth Town

Shildon AFC keep the pressure on league leaders Morpeth Town after a comfortable 3 – 0 home win against Seaham Red Star on Saturday 14th November 2015. The Railwaymen are 5 points behind Morpeth and have played the same number of games.

Shildon scored early when a Billy Greulich-Smith shot was parried out by keeper Shaun Newbrook for Anthony Bell to fire into the bottom corner.

Seaham’s Ryan Noble hit the outside of the post before Shildon extended their lead when a long range free kick from Jonny Davis when through the whole defence into the net.

Just after the half hour Seaham’s No 5 Dan Kirkup was very fortunate to stay on the field after he viciously brought down Kyle Fryatt. Likewise, Shildon’s Paul Connor could easily have been red carded for retaliation. The ref only issued both players a yellow card.

Early in the second half Shildon were less threatening allowing Seaham more possession. No 4 Paul Gardiner was clean through but he somehow shot wide. Minutes later a great shot from Ryan Noble produced a great save from Shildon’s keeper Lewis Graham.

At the other end star man Anthony Bell saw his effort well stopped by the Seaham keeper.

Shildon sealed the win on 79 minutes when Bell crossed from the left for Paul Connor to side foot home.

Whitley Bay 2 Shildon 2

Shildon drew their first league game of the season when the game against Whitley Bay finished 2-2.

Whitley Bay went into a 2 goal lead, both goals coming from Liam Hudson either side of the break. The first a header from a corner, the second from a disputed corner, then what looked like a foul on the keeper before the ball went into the net.

In the second half Shildon kept the pressure up and Billy Greulich-Smith pulled a goal back from a corner after a scramble in the box.

The equaliser came in the dying minutes of the game, a through ball over the top by Billy Greulich-Smith went over a couple of players before hitting Joshua Day running back to his own goal who diverted it into the bottom corner of the net.
